Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

Only the educated are free.

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.

Always desire to learn something useful.

Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.

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

If you've got a talent, protect it.
