To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Who seeks shall find.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
I can, therefore I am.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Never complain and never explain.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
