Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.

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

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

Always desire to learn something useful.

Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
