You never know what motivates you.

If you're going through hell, keep going.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.

Never complain and never explain.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
