Always desire to learn something useful.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
Imagination! Imagination! I put it first years ago, when I was asked what qualities I thought necessary for success on the stage.
