Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
Always desire to learn something useful.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Who seeks shall find.
I think an education is beneficial, but whether it takes an education to be successful in the arts is a whole other question.
