What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
I can, therefore I am.
Know or listen to those who know.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
You never know what motivates you.
Composers shouldn't think too much - it interferes with their plagiarism.
