The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Only the educated are free.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Know or listen to those who know.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
You never know what motivates you.
Leap, and the net will appear.
My happiest memory of childhood was my first birthday in reform school. This teacher took an interest in me. In fact, he gave me the first birthday presents I ever got: a box of Cracker Jacks and a can of ABC shoe polish.
