To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Only the educated are free.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Who seeks shall find.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
You never know what motivates you.
Always desire to learn something useful.
I discovered that in a story I could safely dream any dream, hope any hope, go anywhere I pleased any time I pleased, fight any foe, win or lose, live or die. My stories created a safe experimental learning place.
