To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Only the educated are free.
It's always too early to quit.
Wherever you are - be all there.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Townes van Zandt is the best songwriter in the whole world and I'll stand on Bob Dylan's coffee table in my cowboy boots and say that.
