To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.

You never know what motivates you.

Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.

The dog that trots about finds a bone.

Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
