To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

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

Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

The most effective way to do it, is to do it.

If you've got a talent, protect it.
