Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
It's always too early to quit.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
After a storm comes a calm.
Always desire to learn something useful.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Know or listen to those who know.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
The thing that's tricky is sometimes the best voices - just because someone hits the big notes and sounds amazing - it doesn't necessarily mean they make the greatest artists.
