Either you run the day or the day runs you.
You never know what motivates you.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
Only the educated are free.
I can, therefore I am.
Leap, and the net will appear.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
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.
