By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

Never complain and never explain.

The most effective way to do it, is to do it.

Wherever you are - be all there.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

The dog that trots about finds a bone.

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