Words make you think a thought. Music makes you feel a feeling. A song makes you feel a thought. Music melts all the separate parts of our bodies together. Music that gentlier on the spirit lies Than tired eyelids upon tired eyes. Without music, life is a journey through a desert Music creates order out of chaos: for rhythm imposes unanimity upon the divergent, melody imposes continuity upon the disjointed, and harmony imposes compatibility upon the incongruous. I don't like country music, but I don't mean to denigrate those who do. And for the people who like country music, denigrate means 'put down' Approach your guitar intelligently, and if there are limits, don't deny them. Work within your restrictions. Somethings you can do better than others, some things you can't do as well. So accentuate the positive. It takes a lot of devotion and work, or maybe I should say play, because if you love it, that's what it amounts to I haven't found any shortcuts, and I've been looking for a long time. It is only by introducing the young to great literature, drama and music, and to the excitement of great science that we open to them the possibilities that lie within the human spirit -- enable them to see visions and dream dreams. It's easy to play any musical instrument: all you have to do is Most of us go to our grave with our music still inside of us. There are two means of refuge from the miseries of life: music and cats. Music expresses that which cannot be put into words and that which cannot remain silent. Where words fail, music speaks. Music was my refuge. I could crawl into the space between the notes and curl my back to loneliness. All the sounds of the earth are like music. It had never occurred to me before that music and thinking are so much alike. In fact you could say music is another way of thinking, or maybe thinking is another kind of music. In music one must think with the heart and feel with the brain. never Bb never B# always Bnatural You are the music while the music lasts. You may be disappointed if you fail, but you are doomed if you don't try. What lies behind us and what lies before us are small matters Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap, but by the seeds you plant. Impossible is a word to be found only in the dictionary of fools. Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could; some blunders and absurdities have crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; you shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense. The state of your life is nothing more than a reflection of your state of mind. Man's reach should exceed his grasp, or what's a heaven for? First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win. We shall draw from the heart of suffering itself the means of inspiration and survival. To the world you might be one person, but to one person you might be the world Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great ones make you feel that you too, can become great.
A candle loses nothing by lighting another candle. The human heart feels things the eyes cannot see, and knows what the mind cannot understand. The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams. In the Midst of movement and chaos, keep stillness inside of you. When you reach for the stars, you may not quite get them, but you won't come up with a handful of mud either. Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan, 'Press on,' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race Even though you may want to move forward in your life, you may have one foot on the brakes. In order to be free, we must learn how to let go. Release the hurt. Release the fear. Refuse to entertain your old pain. The energy it takes to hang onto the past is holding you back from a new life. What is it you would let go of today? If you want to build a ship, don't herd people together to collect wood and don't assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea. Example is not the main thing in influencing others, it is the only thing. Nothing is as real as a dream. The world can change around you, but your dream will not. Responsibilities need not erase it. Duties need not obscure it. Because the dream is within you, no one can take it away. If what you're working for really matters, you'll give it all you've got. Kites rise highest against the wind -- not with it. People prefer to follow those who help them, not those who intimidate them. Striving for excellence motivates you; striving for perfection is demoralizing. You are what you think. You are what you go for. You are what you do! I've always felt it was not up to anyone else to make me give my best. Watch your thoughts; they become words. Don't measure yourself by what you have accomplished, but by what you should have accomplished with your ability. To handle yourself, use your head; to handle others, use your heart. You cannot raise a man up by calling him down. Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going. If you would lift me up you must be on higher ground. What we see depends mainly on what we look for. The most important thing about motivation is goal setting. You should always have a goal. This time like all times is a very good one if we but know what to do with it Leadership is doing what is right when no one is watching. Everyone is trying to accomplish something big, not realizing that life is made up of little things. Practice Slow; Technique is not about speed. – Mary Pluenneke TIME
