To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

The dog that trots about finds a bone.

After a storm comes a calm.

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.

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

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

You never know what motivates you.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
