To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Always desire to learn something useful.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Wherever you are - be all there.
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.
