To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Never complain and never explain.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
After a storm comes a calm.
Who seeks shall find.
Leap, and the net will appear.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
I'd much rather have sat there and just been a fly on the wall, instead of having to smile at people. I'd rather have been a waitress. Just gone round and stared at people.
