Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
It's always too early to quit.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Never complain and never explain.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Well done is better than well said.
You never know what motivates you.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
The relationship between press and politician - protected by the Constitution and designed to be happily adversarial - becomes sour, raw and confrontational.
