To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
You never know what motivates you.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Know or listen to those who know.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
If you think you can do it, you can.
The only difference is that religion is much better organised and has been around much longer, but it's the same story with different characters and different costumes.
