Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
After a storm comes a calm.
Well done is better than well said.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
You never know what motivates you.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Know or listen to those who know.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
I totally related to Cole Porter's magnetic pull to any piano that was in the room, which he was famous for doing, as was Gershwin. You couldn't drag them away from a piano.
