Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Well done is better than well said.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
I have no patience at all.
If you lock me in the room with a piano teacher for a year I might be able to knock out a rendition of 'Roll Out The Barrel,' but will I ever be a concert pianist? No.
