Always desire to learn something useful.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Leap, and the net will appear.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
There were two sides to David Lean: on the one side, he was kind of a rather stiff, disciplined Englishman. And then he had this kind of romantic side to him. I think being true to both sides of your nature is important.
