You never know what motivates you.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Who seeks shall find.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
I can, therefore I am.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
If cooking becomes an art form rather than a means of providing a reasonable diet, then something is clearly wrong.
