Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

It's always too early to quit.

Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.

Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.

To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
