Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
If you think you can do it, you can.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Never complain and never explain.
I like to browse in occult bookshops if for no other reason than to refresh my commitment to science.
