Learn as if you were not reaching your goal and as though you were scared of missing it
The gentleman sees what is right while the small man sees what is profitable.
Your eyes are always bigger than your stomach.
By nature, men are nearly alike; by practice, they get to be wide apart.
Unify your attention. Do not listen with your ears, but with your mind. Do not listen with your mind but with your essence.
Study as though you cannot catch up to it, and as though you fear you are going to lose it.
