If you've got a talent, protect it.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Only the educated are free.
I can, therefore I am.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
If a weakly mortal is to do anything in the world besides eat the bread thereof, there must be a determined subordination of the whole nature to the one aim no trifling with time, which is passing, with strength which is only too limited.
