Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
It's always too early to quit.
Leap, and the net will appear.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Always desire to learn something useful.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
There is no single development, in either technology or management technique, which by itself promises even one order-of-magnitude improvement within a decade in productivity, in reliability, in simplicity.
