To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
Only the educated are free.
If you think you can do it, you can.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
I can, therefore I am.
After a storm comes a calm.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
I see a wiser person than when I was younger: having babies, and passing 30, were the turning points. What women in their 40s - I am 39 - lack in gorgeousness, they make up for in wisdom. I love ageing, despite the drawbacks - thinner, drier skin.
