To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
You never know what motivates you.
If you think you can do it, you can.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Well done is better than well said.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
One can't write for all readers. A poet cannot write for people who don't like poetry.
