Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
Well done is better than well said.
Always desire to learn something useful.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
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.
