The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
After a storm comes a calm.
Know or listen to those who know.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Only the educated are free.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
It's always too early to quit.
My experiences have taught me a lot and I'm happy with my learnings, if not with what I went through to learn.
