Nothing is born into this world without labor.

When people say "If I only knew then what I know now" makes me wonder why they aren't using that wisdom now.

You must embrace change before change erases you.

Planning and perseverance will bring your mission to fruition.

Don't be handcuffed by bad habits when you hold the key to unlock the greatness inside of you.

Don't ask for directions if you're not going to start the car.

Your calling is calling you, are you answering?

If you think someone or something other than yourself is responsible for your happiness or success, I'd guess you're not that happy or successful.

If all the world's a stage, I suggest you start performing at your best.

Achieving success is a challenge but so is struggling so you may as well choose success.

If you have to repeatedly chase after someone when you have a great opportunity, don't bother, if they aren't responsive, they aren't the type of person who'll succeed at it anyway.

Anger slowly.Forgive quickly.Trust cautiously.Love easily.

Strong currents drag many stones and bushes along with them, strong intellects many dense and muddled minds.

Nothing is irredeemably ugly but sin.

I'm the first one to admit, I'm a pretty unorthodox guitar player.

I couldn't understand a sense of unease that multiplied until I could hear my heart beating.
