Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.

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

Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.

You never know what motivates you.

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

Never complain and never explain.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
