To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
I can, therefore I am.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
It's always too early to quit.
Never complain and never explain.
Know or listen to those who know.
Who seeks shall find.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Always desire to learn something useful.
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.
