To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Never complain and never explain.
It's always too early to quit.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Who seeks shall find.
I'm not a bad driver. And I never will be because I took lessons when I was quite a boy. I never had to pass a test because there wasn't such a thing when I first started driving a motor car. So I didn't have to pass one.
