You never know what motivates you.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Know or listen to those who know.
Well done is better than well said.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
After a storm comes a calm.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
In those early years in New York when I was a stranger in a big city, it was the companionship and later friendship which I was offered in the Linnean Society that was the most important thing in my life.
