I can, therefore I am.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Never complain and never explain.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Leap, and the net will appear.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
