The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Wherever you are - be all there.
I can, therefore I am.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Leap, and the net will appear.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
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.
