Failure is not the crime. Low aim is.

Success is never final, failure is never fatal. It's courage that counts.

Passion is momentary love is enduring.

Do not let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do.

Just do the best you can. No one can do more than that.

Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are.

Talent is God given. Be humble. Fame is man-given. Be grateful. Conceit is self-given. Be careful.

Success is peace of mind which is a direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing you did your best to become the best you are capable of becoming.

Whatever you do in life, surround yourself with smart people who'll argue with you.

It's what you learn after you know it all that counts.

Winning takes talent; to repeat takes character.

You should always choose your associations wisely because people create impressions around the music.

When challenge and skills are in balance the activity is its own reward

Poetry and prose are of equal importance to me as a reader, and there doesn't seem to be much difference in my own writing.

If you do just one thing to change the world, go organic.

Microphones are just like people, if you shout at them, they get scared.

A great brand is a story that never stops unfolding.
