Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
You never know what motivates you.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Only the educated are free.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
Never complain and never explain.
All a musician can do is to get closer to the sources of nature, and so feel that he is in communion with the natural laws.
