To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Know or listen to those who know.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
It's always too early to quit.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
When you do not know what you are doing and what you are doing is the best - that is inspiration.
