To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

To be a good loser is to learn how to win.

Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

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

Well done is better than well said.

The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
