To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Know or listen to those who know.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Who seeks shall find.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Never complain and never explain.
I have long considered it one of God's greatest mercies that the future is hidden from us. If it were not, life would surely be unbearable.
