To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

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

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

Leap, and the net will appear.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

Wherever you are - be all there.

Well done is better than well said.
