To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
After a storm comes a calm.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
If you think you can do it, you can.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Don't let your special character and values, the secret that you know and no one else does, the truth - don't let that get swallowed up by the great chewing complacency.
Better be wise by the misfortunes of others than by your own.
