To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.

Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.

After a storm comes a calm.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.

The dog that trots about finds a bone.

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

If you've got a talent, protect it.
