To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Never complain and never explain.
Always desire to learn something useful.
If you think you can do it, you can.
It's always too early to quit.
You never know what motivates you.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
The friendship of Shostakovich cast a brilliant light over my whole life and whose spiritual qualities captured my soul once and for all time.
