Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Never complain and never explain.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
He who doesn't fear death dies only once.
