Always desire to learn something useful.
After a storm comes a calm.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Never complain and never explain.
I think Bond the character is distinct: He's British, he has a certain code that he lives by, he's incorruptible... he's a classical hero, but he's also fallible. He has inner demons, inner conflicts, and he's a romantic.
