Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
You never know what motivates you.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
I wanted to get to that aesthetic proposition that comes out of learning the human elements of a world, so that those notes and rhythms mean something to you besides just the academic way in which they fall in place.
