To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
It's always too early to quit.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Never complain and never explain.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Far from creating a new formalism, what these can yield is something far transcending surface values since they not only embody form as beauty, but also form in which intuitions or ideas or conjectures have taken visible substance.
