You never know what motivates you.

Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

Never complain and never explain.

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