Don’t try to lessen yourself for the world; let the world catch up to you.

Don't surrender all your joy for an idea you used to have about yourself that isn't true anymore.

There will always be someone who can't see your worth. Don't let it be you.

It isn't just talent. You have to have something else. You have to have a kind of nerve.

Often when you think you’re at the end of something, you’re at the beginning of something else.

Do not whine... Do not complain. Work harder. Spend more time alone.

Success isn’t about how your life looks to others; it’s about how it feels to you.

Act as if someone just said there’s no reason to be afraid.

Music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosophy.

The simple act of paying attention can take you a long way.

The heart is not like a box that gets filled up; it expands in size the more you love.

Human beings must always be on the watch for the coming of wonders.
