Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
But if people want to swim in the Thames, if they want to take their lives into their own hands, then they should be able to do so with all the freedom and exhilaration of our woad-painted ancestors.
