Never complain and never explain.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
It's always too early to quit.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Who seeks shall find.
I can, therefore I am.
I think an education is beneficial, but whether it takes an education to be successful in the arts is a whole other question.
