To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

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

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

Always desire to learn something useful.

Wherever you are - be all there.

You never know what motivates you.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

To be a good loser is to learn how to win.

If you've got a talent, protect it.
