The most effective way to do it, is to do it.

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

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.

Always desire to learn something useful.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
