If you're going through hell, keep going.
It's always too early to quit.
Leap, and the net will appear.
After a storm comes a calm.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
I always got great respect as a bass player.
