The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Know or listen to those who know.
Only the educated are free.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Who seeks shall find.
Well done is better than well said.
Never complain and never explain.
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.
