If you've got a talent, protect it.
Wherever you are - be all there.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Only the educated are free.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
I shall give you hunger, and pain, and sleepless nights. Also beauty, and satisfactions known to few, and glimpses of the heavenly life. None of these you shall have continually, and of their coming and going you shall not be foretold.
