After a storm comes a calm.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Leap, and the net will appear.
Only the educated are free.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
In those days, it didn't take much imagination to come up with something that required great lyric development skills. You just thought of an experience that you might have gone through, and write it down.
