If you think you can do it, you can.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Who seeks shall find.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
I think an education is beneficial, but whether it takes an education to be successful in the arts is a whole other question.
