To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Who seeks shall find.
Know or listen to those who know.
If you think you can do it, you can.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
