To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
I can, therefore I am.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Who seeks shall find.
Well done is better than well said.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Never complain and never explain.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Too much good fortune can make you smug and unaware. Happiness should be like an oasis, the greener for the desert that surrounds it.
