Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Never complain and never explain.
Who seeks shall find.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
I think that my past stands me in good stead in that it does have a certain strength for musicians.
