To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

After a storm comes a calm.

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

You never know what motivates you.

Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.

What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.

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