If you've got a talent, protect it.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Who seeks shall find.
After a storm comes a calm.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
Jazz is known all over the world as an American musical art form and that's it. No America, no jazz. I've seen people try to connect it to other countries, for instance to Africa, but it doesn't have a damn thing to do with Africa.
