Always desire to learn something useful.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
I can, therefore I am.
Never complain and never explain.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Well done is better than well said.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
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.
