To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

Know or listen to those who know.

Never complain and never explain.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.

If you think you can do it, you can.

If you're going through hell, keep going.

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