To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

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

Never complain and never explain.

Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

If you're going through hell, keep going.

To be a good loser is to learn how to win.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
