Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Never complain and never explain.
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.
Always desire to learn something useful.
You never know what motivates you.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Know or listen to those who know.
There's a sadness to the human condition that I think music is good for. It gives a counterpoint to the visual beauty, and adds depth to pictures that they wouldn't have if the music wasn't there.
