To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Leap, and the net will appear.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
I have witnessed how education opens doors, and I know that when sound instruction takes place, students experience the joys of new-found knowledge and the ability to excel.
