Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.

Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.

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

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

Leap, and the net will appear.
