Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Only the educated are free.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
It's always too early to quit.
Always desire to learn something useful.
The big thing that everyone forgets, you're famous and on TV and everything, but I think there's something very rewarding to be able to write a song, record it, and have it turn out as you heard it in your head, or even better.
