To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Wherever you are - be all there.
After a storm comes a calm.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Well done is better than well said.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
Always desire to learn something useful.
So the thing I realized rather gradually - I must say starting about 20 years ago now that we know about computers and things - there's a possibility of a more general basis for rules to describe nature.
