To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

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

To be a good loser is to learn how to win.

It's always too early to quit.

You never know what motivates you.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
