Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

Know or listen to those who know.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.

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

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

You never know what motivates you.

I can, therefore I am.
