Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.

If you don't like the road you're walking, start paving another one.

We delight in the beauty of the butterfly, but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty.

It's all to do with the training: you can do a lot if you're properly trained.

Patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet.

The men who have succeeded are men who have chosen one line and stuck to it.

United we stand; divided we fall.

However many holy words you read, however many you speak, what good will they do you if you do not act on upon them?

It's not what you look at that matters, it's what you see.

There are only 3 colors, 10 digits, and 7 notes; its what we do with them that's important.

Make the most of yourself....for that is all there is of you.

Only when I fall do I get up again.

Years from now, after I'm gone, someone will listen to what I've done and know I was here. They may not know or care who I was, but they'll hear my guitars speaking for me.

The time is always right to do the right thing

You are never too old to become younger!

It marks a big step in your development when you come to realize that other people can help you do a better job than you could do alone.

You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose.

Human dignity consists in the role we must play in our own perfection. Taking a role in our own self-completion is the highest expression of our creativity.
