To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

Quality is not an act, it is a habit.

Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.

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

If you've got a talent, protect it.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

Always desire to learn something useful.
