Get pleasure out of life...as much as you can. Nobody ever died from pleasure.
Late to bed and late to wake will keep you long on money and short on mistakes.
Always be nice to those younger than you, because they are the ones who will be writing about you.
You can only cure retail but you can prevent wholesale.
Read over your compositions, and wherever you meet with a passage which you think is particularly fine, strike it out.
When your work speaks for itself, don't interrupt.
