Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Know or listen to those who know.
Well done is better than well said.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Only the educated are free.
Who seeks shall find.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
