In many things it is not well to say, "Know thyself"; it is better to say, "Know others."
Know thyself means this, that you get acquainted with what you know, and what you can do.
Do not fight against Providence; nor bring more heavy weather to the storm. Face what is already there.
He who labors diligently need never despair.
How sweet is life, can we but choose with whom to live it: to live for oneself is no life.
Nothing has happened to you unless you make much of it.
