To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.

The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Only the educated are free.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
