To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Know or listen to those who know.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Only the educated are free.
Leap, and the net will appear.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
I can, therefore I am.
