There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.

If my life is going to mean anything, I have to live it myself.

We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.

I just want to be able to play and make people feel good with what I do. When you're thinking that way, anything can happen. And, usually, what happens is good.

To succeed in your mission, you must have single-minded devotion to your goal.

I just couldn't take school seriously: I had this guitar neck with four frets which I kept hidden under the desk. It had strings on it so I would practice my chord shapes under the desk and that's about all I did at school.

When they say the sky's the limit to me that's really true

I want to know what passion is. I want to feel something strongly.

The great secret of true success, of true happiness, is this: the man or woman who asks for no return, the perfectly unselfish person, is the most successful.

Isn't it astonishing that all these secrets have been preserved for so many years just so we could discover them!

If you get up in the morning and think the future is going to be better, it is a bright day. Otherwise, it's not.

Know thyself.

It's always too early to quit.

One must maintain a little bittle of summer, even in the middle of winter.

A long apprenticeship is the most logical way to success. The only alternative is overnight stardom, but I can't give you a formula for that.

Dare to be free, dare to go as far as your thought leads, and dare to carry that out in your life.

Things may come to those who wait but only the things left by those who hustle.

For every man there exists a bait which he cannot resist swallowing.

Scar tissue is stronger than regular tissue. Realize the strength, move on.

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

Be happy, but never satisfied.
