You never know what motivates you.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
It's always too early to quit.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Only the educated are free.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Never complain and never explain.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
In externals we advance with lightening express speed, in modes of thought and sympathy we lumber on in stage-coach fashion.
