To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
Who seeks shall find.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Leap, and the net will appear.
So far as it depends on the course of this government, our relations of good will and friendship will be sedulously cultivated with all nations.
