Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

The dog that trots about finds a bone.

Always desire to learn something useful.

Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.

You never know what motivates you.
