I can, therefore I am.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Know or listen to those who know.
After a storm comes a calm.
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.
