If you've got a talent, protect it.
Leap, and the net will appear.
You never know what motivates you.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
If you think you can do it, you can.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Only the educated are free.
It always makes me sad when I think of how I saw Wagner wasting his vitality, not only by singing their parts to some of his artists, but acting out the smallest details, and of how few they were who were responsive to his wishes.
