To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
It's always too early to quit.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Even when I begin with a situation that's basically funny or sad, I like to keep poking around in it. I like to get into the middle of a relationship, to explore the subtle places.
