To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Only the educated are free.
You never know what motivates you.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
Never complain and never explain.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
It's always too early to quit.
Know or listen to those who know.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
