Know or listen to those who know.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
The Parthenon without the marbles is like a smile with a tooth missing.
