If you've got a talent, protect it.
It's always too early to quit.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Only the educated are free.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Always desire to learn something useful.
If you think you can do it, you can.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
I once bought my kids a set of batteries for Christmas with a note on it saying, toys not included.
