To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

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

The wise does at once what the fool does at last.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

I can, therefore I am.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
