To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
I can, therefore I am.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
After a storm comes a calm.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
That's the biggest part of doing comics: You have to create stuff that makes you want to get out of bed every morning and get to work.
