To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Who seeks shall find.
After a storm comes a calm.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
I grew up in a family where the women were just nuts. They didn't stand around in cardigans making polite conversation while they chopped tomatoes.
