If you're going through hell, keep going.
It's always too early to quit.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Never complain and never explain.
Only the educated are free.
I can, therefore I am.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Who seeks shall find.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Know or listen to those who know.
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.
