If you've got a talent, protect it.

Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.

Either you run the day or the day runs you.

Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.

Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
