To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

Either you run the day or the day runs you.

It's always too early to quit.

Know or listen to those who know.

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

If you can dream it, you can do it.

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

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
