God helps those who help themselves.

He that can compose himself, is wiser than he that composes books

If you wou'd be reveng'd of your enemy, govern your self

Deny Self for Self's sake

Remember not only to say the right thing in the right place, but far more difficult still, to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment.

Came you from Court? for in your Mien, A self-important air is seen.
