People do not naturally become morally excellent or practically wise. They become so, if at all, only as the result of lifelong personal and community effort.

It is during our darkest moments that we must focus to see the light.

Happiness depends upon ourselves.

Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all.

Adventure is worthwhile.

Patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet.

Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies.

Education is an ornament in prosperity and a refuge in adversity.

Be a free thinker and don't accept everything you hear as truth. Be critical and evaluate what you believe in.

Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom.

Criticism is something we can avoid easily by saying nothing, doing nothing, and being nothing.

If your tears have lost the ability to hide your pain... why shedding them?

You can't copy anybody and end with anything. If you copy, it means you're working without any real feeling. No two people on earth are alike, and it's got to be that way in music or it isn't music.

At a young age winning is not the most important thing... the important thing is to develop creative and skilled players with good confidence.

We want to achieve a stable, peaceful world with less conflict and more common ground.

...in my book success and winning are not always the same thing. To me, success is playing - or working - to the best of your ability.

There are some things you can't learn from others. You have to pass through the fire.

I'm so pleased to see us talking gender specific messages that are focusing on men on a way I think it needs to be focused in on and I think it's important.
