Know or listen to those who know.
After a storm comes a calm.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
It's always too early to quit.
Wherever you are - be all there.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
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.
