Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Never complain and never explain.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Only the educated are free.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
I write in the morning from about eight till noon, and sometimes again a bit in the afternoon. In the morning I start off by going over what I had done the previous day, which my wife has happily typed up for me.
