To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

I can, therefore I am.

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

Never complain and never explain.

Either you run the day or the day runs you.

Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.

Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
