You never know what motivates you.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Wherever you are - be all there.
It's always too early to quit.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Never complain and never explain.
After a storm comes a calm.
Always desire to learn something useful.
In those days, it didn't take much imagination to come up with something that required great lyric development skills. You just thought of an experience that you might have gone through, and write it down.
