To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

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

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

Either you run the day or the day runs you.

Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

Never complain and never explain.

Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
