To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Who seeks shall find.
Leap, and the net will appear.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Never complain and never explain.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Know or listen to those who know.
I got a guitar when I was about 14, for a Christmas present, and went from there.
