Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Leap, and the net will appear.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
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.
