By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

Never complain and never explain.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

If you're going through hell, keep going.

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

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

Either you run the day or the day runs you.

Know or listen to those who know.

If you've got a talent, protect it.
