To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

Quality is not an act, it is a habit.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

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

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

The wise does at once what the fool does at last.

After a storm comes a calm.

If you're going through hell, keep going.

Always desire to learn something useful.
