If you've got a talent, protect it.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
It's always too early to quit.
I wrote the song For A Dancer for a friend of mine who died in a fire. He was in the sauna in a house that burned down, so he had no idea anything was going on. It was very sad.
