To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Wherever you are - be all there.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
It's always too early to quit.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Know or listen to those who know.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
If you think you can do it, you can.
That song is a story that shows how easily you could get slipped into being labeled as the bad guy, even though what you really trying to do is tell the bad guy to leave you alone.
