The dog that trots about finds a bone.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
Leap, and the net will appear.
Only the educated are free.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Well done is better than well said.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
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.
