To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

If you're going through hell, keep going.

Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.

If you think you can do it, you can.

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

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

Wherever you are - be all there.

Never complain and never explain.
