To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
After a storm comes a calm.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
Leap, and the net will appear.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
I do believe that most men live lives of quiet desperation. For despair, optimism is the only practical solution. Hope is practical. Because eliminate that and it's pretty scary. Hope at least gives you the option of living.
