Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

You never know what motivates you.

After a storm comes a calm.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

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

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
