Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Only the educated are free.
I can, therefore I am.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Always desire to learn something useful.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
I learned easily and had time to follow my inclination for sports (light athletics and skiing) and chemistry, which I taught myself by reading all textbooks I could get.
