The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
It's always too early to quit.
I can, therefore I am.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Know or listen to those who know.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
I wrote somewhere during the Cold War that I sometimes wish the Iron Curtain were much taller than it is, so that you could see whether the development of science with no communication was parallel on the two sides. In this case it certainly wasn't.
