"The chance that you will become a master in something after the first attempt is neither here nor there. You don't get master's degree by attending school on the first day! Time will tell, so you got to persist!"

"He was a far more voracious reader than me, but he made it a rule never to touch a book by any author who had not been dead at least 30 years.

The teacher should be like the conductor in the orchestra, not the trainer in the circus."
