To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
Never complain and never explain.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
You never know what motivates you.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Who seeks shall find.
This is just what I have thought when I have seen slaves at work - they seem to go through the motions of labor without putting strength into them. They keep their powers in reserve for their own use at night, perhaps.
