Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Never complain and never explain.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Only the educated are free.
Leap, and the net will appear.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Who seeks shall find.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
All this happened, more or less. The war parts, anyway, are pretty much true.
