Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
If you think you can do it, you can.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Always desire to learn something useful.
You never know what motivates you.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
Strange as it may seem, no amount of learning can cure stupidity, and formal education positively fortifies it.
