What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
It's always too early to quit.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
You never know what motivates you.
Only the educated are free.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
Never complain and never explain.
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.
