The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Never complain and never explain.
It's always too early to quit.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Leap, and the net will appear.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
In America, life is introverted, self-absorbed - and so is their music.
