Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

Never complain and never explain.

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

Quality is not an act, it is a habit.

Always desire to learn something useful.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.

Well done is better than well said.
