You never know what motivates you.
Know or listen to those who know.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Always desire to learn something useful.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Leap, and the net will appear.
We may smile at these matters, but they are melancholy illustrations.
