Quotes applicable to songwriting:

Some days are diamonds, some days are stones

Talent is 99% perspiration, 1% inspiration

If at first you don't succeed, try, try again!!

I'd rather be a big fish in a small puddle than a small fish in a big puddle

And finally, told to me by the head drummer of Duran Duran on a Dallas Texas city bus in the 1980s:

NEVER let ANYONE take your dreams away from you.  Even family and friends.. If you think you can make it in this business - go for it!  (He was being sincere, not sarcastic or condescending).  Thanks, bro, if you ever read this..
