To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
Only the educated are free.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Why not collect and clean chicken wishbones in the run-up to Christmas, spray them silver and use each to pinch together a white hem-stitch napkin?
