To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Well done is better than well said.
You never know what motivates you.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
It has been well said that a hungry man is more interested in four sandwiches than four freedoms.
