To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Leap, and the net will appear.
Well done is better than well said.
Wherever you are - be all there.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
You never know what motivates you.
I think it was T.S. Eliot who talked about good poetry being felt before it's understood. I believe that. There are some bands where I love their lyrics but I don't have a clue what they're on about.
