To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

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

After a storm comes a calm.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

If you're going through hell, keep going.

What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
