To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Never complain and never explain.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
You never know what motivates you.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
I can, therefore I am.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
It's just amazing that there are so many prejudices even now.
