To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Never complain and never explain.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Leap, and the net will appear.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
I shall begin my march for Camp tomorrow morning. It was not in my power to move until I could procure shoes for the troops almost barefoot.
