Only the educated are free.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Leap, and the net will appear.
I am sure that the sad days and happenings were rare, and that I lived the joyous and careless life of other children but just because the happy days were so habitual to me they made no impression upon my mind, and I can no longer recall them.
