The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
After a storm comes a calm.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Wherever you are - be all there.
It's always too early to quit.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
I worked hard learning harmony and theory when I was growing up in Chicago in the 1920s.
