To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

After a storm comes a calm.

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

Always desire to learn something useful.

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

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

The most effective way to do it, is to do it.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
