What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Well done is better than well said.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Always desire to learn something useful.
It's always too early to quit.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Leap, and the net will appear.
I worked hard learning harmony and theory when I was growing up in Chicago in the 1920s.
