Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Well done is better than well said.
Only the educated are free.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
I've studied all my musical life, but learning is only good if you do something constructive with it.
