To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Only the educated are free.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
