To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
You never know what motivates you.
Well done is better than well said.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
But if people want to swim in the Thames, if they want to take their lives into their own hands, then they should be able to do so with all the freedom and exhilaration of our woad-painted ancestors.
