If you're going through hell, keep going.
Never complain and never explain.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
Who seeks shall find.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Always desire to learn something useful.
You never know what motivates you.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
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.
