To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

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

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

If you're going through hell, keep going.

To be a good loser is to learn how to win.

I can, therefore I am.
