Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

Either you run the day or the day runs you.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

Never complain and never explain.

You never know what motivates you.

Well done is better than well said.

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

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
