After a storm comes a calm.
I can, therefore I am.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
I got a guitar when I was about 14, for a Christmas present, and went from there.
