Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Know or listen to those who know.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
Leap, and the net will appear.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
You never know what motivates you.
But I think bands that rolled in with a big attitude, like they were some big deal, I just found that very strange.
