To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
You never know what motivates you.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
If you think you can do it, you can.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Well done is better than well said.
Good ideas are not adopted automatically. They must be driven into practice with courageous patience.
If you are going to sin, sin against God, not the bureaucracy. God will forgive you but the bureaucracy won't.
