To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.

Well done is better than well said.

Know or listen to those who know.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.

Never complain and never explain.

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

The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
