Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.

If you think you can do it, you can.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

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

The dog that trots about finds a bone.

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

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
