The most effective way to do it, is to do it.

Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.

The dog that trots about finds a bone.

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

If you've got a talent, protect it.

Never complain and never explain.

Well done is better than well said.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
