To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
You never know what motivates you.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Leap, and the net will appear.
Wherever you are - be all there.
If you think you can do it, you can.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Only the educated are free.
To this day I don't ever remember seeing a pet inside Moscow, I never saw anyone carrying a dog, or leading a dog. Err I finally saw a, a pet some years later in Kiev, so I thought that life must have been, different.
