The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Only the educated are free.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Imagination! Imagination! I put it first years ago, when I was asked what qualities I thought necessary for success on the stage.
