To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

Well done is better than well said.

If you're going through hell, keep going.

Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
