Know or listen to those who know.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

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

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

If you're going through hell, keep going.

You never know what motivates you.

Either you run the day or the day runs you.

If you've got a talent, protect it.
