Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
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.
Know or listen to those who know.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
Always desire to learn something useful.
