Works from the soul transcend works from the mind.

Geniuses’ steps take you higher than talent’s leaps.

Flawed genius is better than flawless talent.

Excellence in obscurity is better than mediocrity in the spotlight.

You become the master of what you master.

An eagle does not crawl because it was born to fly.

Today’s amateurs are tomorrow’s champions.

Weeds blend in; roses stand out.

The cream rises to the top, even if sour.
