Always desire to learn something useful.
You never know what motivates you.
Only the educated are free.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
It's always too early to quit.
I think an education is beneficial, but whether it takes an education to be successful in the arts is a whole other question.
