To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Leap, and the net will appear.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Well done is better than well said.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
I'd like to be a wounded leading man. Instead of a pillar of strength, I'd be the scared one.
