Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
You never know what motivates you.
I can, therefore I am.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Who seeks shall find.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
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.
