By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
After a storm comes a calm.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
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.
