Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
It's always too early to quit.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Well done is better than well said.
Always desire to learn something useful.
So the thing I realized rather gradually - I must say starting about 20 years ago now that we know about computers and things - there's a possibility of a more general basis for rules to describe nature.
