To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

You never know what motivates you.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.

It's always too early to quit.

Quality is not an act, it is a habit.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
