To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Always desire to learn something useful.
After a storm comes a calm.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Life is like a trumpet - if you don't put anything into it, you don't get anything out of it.
