“Just one more thing. That’s how I got better: just one more question, one more test, one more thing I might think of, one more task to which I could apply myself. I could read, reread, then start over. I could memorize, test myself on what I had just learned, then study some more, just to be sure. Again and again and again: just one more thing.”
― Katalin Karikó, Breaking Through: My Life in Science

“I do not care so much what I am to others as I care what I am to myself.”

“As I grow older, I pay less attention to what men say. I just watch what they do.”
― Andrew Carnegie
