To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
It's always too early to quit.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
You never know what motivates you.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Never complain and never explain.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
I've done an informal, anecdotal survey about marriage, and I've found no evidence that it brings happiness.
