Know or listen to those who know.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
Never complain and never explain.
You never know what motivates you.
Yale is a crucible in American life for the accommodation of intellectual achievement, of wisdom, of refinement, with the democratic ideals of openness, of social justice and of equal opportunity.
