Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
If you think you can do it, you can.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Wherever you are - be all there.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Never complain and never explain.
Who seeks shall find.
The odds are always against you no matter what your previous history is. You have to overcome the tendency to relax.
