What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Never complain and never explain.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
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.
