To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
After a storm comes a calm.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Well done is better than well said.
Never complain and never explain.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
You never know what motivates you.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
And as far as false hope, there is no such thing. There is only hope or the absence of hope-nothing else.
