The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Wherever you are - be all there.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
But if people want to swim in the Thames, if they want to take their lives into their own hands, then they should be able to do so with all the freedom and exhilaration of our woad-painted ancestors.
