Thought it would be fun to start a thread where u can post sayings or maxims that u would like to share. I like this one -
Know yourself
Know your talents and capacity, in judgement and inclination. You cannot master yourself unless you know yourself. There are mirrors for the face but none for the mind. Let careful thought about yourself serve as a substitute. When the outer image is forgotten, keep the inner one to improve and perfect. Learn the force of your intellect and capacity for affairs, test the force of your courage in order to apply it, and keep your foundations and your head clear for everything.
Balthazar Gracian , The Art of Worldly Wisdom, 1637
