Always desire to learn something useful.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
I can, therefore I am.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
