Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
You never know what motivates you.
Never complain and never explain.
It's always too early to quit.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
This ceremony and the intellectual aura associated with the Nobel Prizes have grown from the wisdom of a practical chemist who wrote a remarkable will.
