To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Who seeks shall find.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Leap, and the net will appear.
