Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
Know or listen to those who know.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
You never know what motivates you.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Who seeks shall find.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Leap, and the net will appear.
We may smile at these matters, but they are melancholy illustrations.
