To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Know or listen to those who know.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Only the educated are free.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
I have two ideas for novels at the moment, neither of them all that conventional, but I'm not ready to choose between them yet, let alone settle down to the process of writing.
