To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Know or listen to those who know.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Never complain and never explain.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Ugliness is in a way superior to beauty because it lasts.
