Only the educated are free.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
If you think you can do it, you can.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Know or listen to those who know.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
