What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Who seeks shall find.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
Wherever you are - be all there.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Only the educated are free.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
Leap, and the net will appear.
It's always too early to quit.
I spent many years trying to write a lot like Ben Folds or John Lennon or Rivers Cuomo. I think that's healthy when you're learning to write and seeing how chords fit together and how songs take shape.
