We can only learn about creativity through our own experience of it.

Art is an articulator of the soul's uncensored purpose and deepest will.

It, (creativity) requires an inclination to step into the unknown, as well as the ability to persist when there is no end in sight.

Creativity is a force moving through us, and only through practice do we learn how to cooperate with it. The 'process' is like a muscle. It needs to be exercised in order to function effortlessly.

Creative expression requires an ability to work with feelings and channel them. Frustration, dissatisfaction, and even a sense of desperation may help you access an eloquence you never knew existed.

Imaginative compassion for that which is other than myself is a constant artistic and ethical discipline.

Creation is a sentient and instinctual flow that determines where to go and what to change or omit.

Creative freedom is determined by how we behold the world. Any one of us can make new things with our perceptions that serve as doorways to the creative imagination. No one is excluded.

God's designs may be frequent justification for our actions, but it is we, the "self-made men", who take the credit.

Music is critical in our lives and culture. It's the inspiration that drives us. It's also the window to our souls. It's a reflection as to who we are, what we stand for and where we're going.

It's astonishing how many business owners are terrified of selling. Salespeople who see the most people a day are the highest paid regardless of the economy.

Think there is nothing we can do to change the past, so we have to look at the present to make sure that the past will never repeat itself again.

Always tell the truth; then you don't have to remember anything

When you are mad at yourself, you are mad at everybody.

We are told, that the black bear is innocent; but I should not like to trust myself with him.
