To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
Only the educated are free.
I can, therefore I am.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Never complain and never explain.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
What breadth, what beauty and power of human nature and development there must be in a woman to get over all the palisades, all the fences, within which she is held captive!
