By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

You never know what motivates you.

If you're going through hell, keep going.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

Never complain and never explain.

Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
