To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Wherever you are - be all there.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Only the educated are free.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
As a kid I quite fancied the romantic, Bohemian idea of being an artist. I expect I thought I could escape from the difficulties of maths and spelling. Maybe I thought I would avoid the judgement of the establishment.
