Success is liking yourself, liking what you do, and liking how you do it

Rise above sectional interests and private ambitions... Pass from matter to spirit. Matter is diversity; spirit is light, life and unity
When your soul is bored you must work.
It is the lone worker who makes the first advance in a subject; the details may be worked out by a team
You must keep your judgement clear of the mists of vain conceit
Our enemies are our greatest moral teachers, because they thrust our faults in our faces
Do not let your difficulties fill you with anxiety, after all it is only in the darkest nights that stars shine more brightly
