Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
After a storm comes a calm.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Well done is better than well said.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
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.
