The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Only the educated are free.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Well done is better than well said.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
I felt that chess... is a science in the form of a game... I consider myself a scientist. I wanted to be treated like a scientist.
I hate ready-made suits, button-down collars, and sports shirts.
