Never close your lips to those whom you have already opened your heart.
One should forgive one's enemies, but not before they are hanged.
The knowledge that you have emerged wiser and stronger from setbacks means that you are, ever after, secure in your ability to survive. You will never truly know yourself, or the strength of your relationships, until both have been tested by adversity. Such knowledge is a true gift, for all that it is painfully won, and it has been worth more than any qualification I ever earned.
The study of nature is a perpetual joy.
Innovation is the ability to see change as an opportunity - not a threat.
