If you've got a talent, protect it.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Know or listen to those who know.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
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.
