To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

Either you run the day or the day runs you.

You never know what motivates you.

The wise does at once what the fool does at last.

Know or listen to those who know.
