To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

Quality is not an act, it is a habit.

Either you run the day or the day runs you.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

Never complain and never explain.
