Unless you try to do something beyond what you have already mastered, you will never grow.
I did my best, it wasn’t much I couldn’t feel, so I tried to touch I’ve told the truth, I didn’t come to fool you And even though it all went wrong I’ll stand before the Lord of Song With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah
What you try for is up to you.
Try to be a rainbow in someone’s cloud.
The only failure is not to try.
I can accept failure, everyone fails at something. But I can’t accept not trying.
Difficulties break some men but make others. No axe is sharp enough to cut the soul of a sinner who keeps on trying, one armed with the hope that he will rise even in the end.
But on the road that I’m on I must continue; if I do nothing, if I don’t study, if I don’t keep on trying, then I’m lost, then woe betide me. That’s how I see this, to keep on, keep on, that’s what’s needed.
Anyone who seeks to destroy the passions instead of controlling them is trying to play the angel.
Always dream and shoot higher than you know you can do. Don’t bother just to be better than your contemporaries or predecessors. Try to be better than yourself.
All I try to do in the press is be honest about something that I really care about.
