Hi, 1)Boxer always followed his two maxims, which were that he (or the general 'you' or the formal and impersonal 'one') would work harder and that the leader was always right. 'Harder' is a little odd, because we are not told 'harder than what'. I'd say 'hard' insted of 'harder'.

- 'Always' is optional, but I prefer it, since we are speaking of habits/routines.
