Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
It's always too early to quit.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Leap, and the net will appear.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Well done is better than well said.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Working with people, the musical part is one thing but the personal part is totally different and just as critical. If the friendship is there and it's a lasting friendship, then it will take care of itself.
