Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Leap, and the net will appear.
Know or listen to those who know.
After a storm comes a calm.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
I can, therefore I am.
It's always too early to quit.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
To cement a new friendship, especially between foreigners or persons of a different social world, a spark with which both were secretly charged must fly from person to person, and cut across the accidents of place and time.
