To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
Well done is better than well said.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
If you think you can do it, you can.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
All good poetry is forged slowly and patiently, link by link, with sweat and blood and tears.
