Know or listen to those who know.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
After a storm comes a calm.
Only the educated are free.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
Never complain and never explain.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
Well done is better than well said.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
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.
