Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Only the educated are free.
After a storm comes a calm.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Know or listen to those who know.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
I can, therefore I am.
Always desire to learn something useful.
I would say the most help I got was from my dad. My dad is a civil engineer in Switzerland he's 90 years old now, so he's no longer active as a civil engineer, but still a very active person.
