Most people live and die with their music still unplayed. I was always looking outside myself for strength and confidence but it comes from within. I wasn't afraid to fail. I feel that the most important requirement in success is learning to overcome failure. Big men become big by doing what they didn't want to do when they didn't want to do it.
Every success is built on the ability to do better than good enough.
The secret of success is to do all you can do without thought of success. Every one's got it in him, if he'll only make up his mind and stick at it. There are no short cuts to any place worth going. The truth of the matter is that you always know the right thing to do. It's quite simply, really.
