To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Know or listen to those who know.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Who seeks shall find.
Well done is better than well said.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Perseverance is not a long race it is many short races one after the other.
