To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
You never know what motivates you.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
After a storm comes a calm.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
I think most artists create out of despair. The very nature of creation is not a performing glory on the outside, it's a painful, difficult search within.
True strength is delicate.
