To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.

Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.

It's always too early to quit.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
