Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
After a storm comes a calm.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
Failure and its accompanying misery is for the artist his most vital source of creative energy.
