Always desire to learn something useful.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Only the educated are free.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
I broke down while at Oxford, was rejected by a record number of medical tribunals during the War, and finally got permission to leave Oxford and do civilian work till the War ended.
