Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Leap, and the net will appear.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Always desire to learn something useful.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Almost all the fans I meet are pretty cool people. They're intelligent and tend to think about things a bit more than your average rock'n'roll fans: sensible people I wouldn't mind having a drink with.
