Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Wherever you are - be all there.
Leap, and the net will appear.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
It's always too early to quit.
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.
