Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
If you think you can do it, you can.
I can, therefore I am.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Well done is better than well said.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Eventually, I believe, current attempts to understand the mind by analogy with man-made computers that can perform superbly some of the same external tasks as conscious beings will be recognized as a gigantic waste of time.
