The dog that trots about finds a bone.
I can, therefore I am.
Only the educated are free.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
I think an education is beneficial, but whether it takes an education to be successful in the arts is a whole other question.
