Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Always desire to learn something useful.
After a storm comes a calm.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
I think an education is beneficial, but whether it takes an education to be successful in the arts is a whole other question.
