Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Never complain and never explain.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
After a storm comes a calm.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Well done is better than well said.
I think most artists create out of despair. The very nature of creation is not a performing glory on the outside, it's a painful, difficult search within.
True strength is delicate.
