To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Only the educated are free.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
If you think you can do it, you can.
If somebody tells me I'm famous I say, 'I'm not.' I can't see myself as famous and I don't think I'll ever call myself famous. I definitely don't feel famous.
I love to write poetry.
