To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Leap, and the net will appear.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
If you think you can do it, you can.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Who seeks shall find.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
I worked hard learning harmony and theory when I was growing up in Chicago in the 1920s.
