Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

If you're going through hell, keep going.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

Know or listen to those who know.

Either you run the day or the day runs you.

Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
