Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

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

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.

Either you run the day or the day runs you.

If you're going through hell, keep going.

The most effective way to do it, is to do it.

You never know what motivates you.
