If you've got a talent, protect it.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Wherever you are - be all there.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Always desire to learn something useful.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Whatever the medium, there is the difficulty, challenge, fascination and often productive clumsiness of learning a new method: the wonderful puzzles and problems of translating with new materials.
