To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Leap, and the net will appear.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Yesterday morning I amused myself with an exercise of a talent I once possessed, but have so neglected that my performance might almost be called an experiment. I cut out a dress for one of the women.
