Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Always desire to learn something useful.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Wherever you are - be all there.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
There are only two things worth aiming for, good music and a clean conscience.
People who make music together cannot be enemies, at least while the music lasts.
