Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Never complain and never explain.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Only the educated are free.
It's always too early to quit.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
You never know what motivates you.
Well done is better than well said.
I totally related to Cole Porter's magnetic pull to any piano that was in the room, which he was famous for doing, as was Gershwin. You couldn't drag them away from a piano.
