By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Wherever you are - be all there.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
It's always too early to quit.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
When I tried to play something and screwed up, I'd hear some other note that would come into play. Then I started trying different things to find the beauty in it.
The worst advice I ever received from my dad was to play by the book.
