Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
If you think you can do it, you can.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
It's always too early to quit.
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.
