To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Only the educated are free.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Who seeks shall find.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
After a storm comes a calm.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Seeing that our thirst was increasing and the water was killing us, while the storm did not abate, we agreed to trust to God, Our Lord, and rather risk the perils of the sea than wait there for certain death from thirst.
