Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Only the educated are free.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
Always desire to learn something useful.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Some musicians I know are incredible fathers. Like Keith Richards. A fantastic dad.
We all have roles in life. I'm a dad, a husband, this and that, but basically I only feel justified in being alive when I'm on the stage.
