To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Wherever you are - be all there.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
You never know what motivates you.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
Wisdom alone is true ambition's aim, wisdom the source of virtue, and of fame, obtained with labour, for mankind employed, and then, when most you share it, best enjoyed.
