To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.

Either you run the day or the day runs you.

Always desire to learn something useful.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
