To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Well done is better than well said.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
You never know what motivates you.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
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.
