To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

If you think you can do it, you can.

To be a good loser is to learn how to win.

What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.

Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
