To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

Well done is better than well said.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

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

Quality is not an act, it is a habit.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.

It's always too early to quit.

Either you run the day or the day runs you.
