To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
I used to do this as a kid. And now they're paying me for it, which is cool.
