To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
It's always too early to quit.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
I always had two or three jobs at the same time. I started doing yard work when I was 7 or 8. When I was 13, I got my first state job doing road construction. Between working, sports and school, I hardly ever had free time.
