Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
Well done is better than well said.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Leap, and the net will appear.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Know or listen to those who know.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
I think that technology has both introduced new sounds but also allowed an increasingly painterly approach to recording music as you can now paint over what you've done and more and more refine an existing performance.
