You never know what motivates you.
Leap, and the net will appear.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Wherever you are - be all there.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Well done is better than well said.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Your political reputation affects how likely allies are to trust you, and what kind of deals they'll offer at the negotiating table. There's also some emotional response in there, so factions do bear grudges. Just like the real thing.
