There are two primary choices in life: to accept conditions as they exist, or accept the responsibility for changing them.

A life not lived for others is not a life.

Imagine the end desired and feel its reality. Follow it through, and you will get definite results.

View life as a continuous learning experience.

Without music, life would be a mistake.

Choose to be optimistic, it feels better.

If you want to live your life in a creative way, as an artist, you have to not look back too much. You have to be willing to take whatever you’ve done and whoever you were and throw them away.

The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.

Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them, humanity cannot survive.
