Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Wherever you are - be all there.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Well done is better than well said.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Know or listen to those who know.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Never complain and never explain.
My father had wanted to name me for Dylan Thomas. He had seen him speak on one of those drunken poetry tours he did.
