If you've got a talent, protect it.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Only the educated are free.
Never complain and never explain.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
While I gave up God a long time ago, I never shook the habit of wanting to believe in something. So I replaced my creed of everlasting life with life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
