Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

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

If you're going through hell, keep going.

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

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

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

If you've got a talent, protect it.

You never know what motivates you.
