Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
It's always too early to quit.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Know or listen to those who know.
I've studied all my musical life, but learning is only good if you do something constructive with it.
