Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
It's always too early to quit.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Wherever you are - be all there.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
Leap, and the net will appear.
Well done is better than well said.
I think an education is beneficial, but whether it takes an education to be successful in the arts is a whole other question.
