Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Never complain and never explain.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
It's always too early to quit.
I loved my 17 years with R.E.M., but I'm ready to reflect, assess and move on to a different phase of my life. The four of us will continue our close friendship, and I look forward to hearing their future efforts as the world's biggest R.E.M. fan.
