Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
In regard to music, I just think that it's always best to have an attitude of being a perpetual student and always look to learn something new about music, because there's always something new to learn.
