Well done is better than well said.
Never complain and never explain.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
I can, therefore I am.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Always desire to learn something useful.
