Pragmatic Technologies for Life and Business Success®
Over the years I have collected many of my favorite quotes, which I have compiled and saved into a special file. Although I recommend we all create our own unique quotes, today I would like to share some of the best and meaningful quotes I have selected of famous musicians. Here we go:
- “Life is what happens when you’re making other plans.” John Lennon
- “I’ve had great success being a total idiot.” – Jerry Lewis
- “Without deviation from the norm, progress is not possible.” Frank Zappa
- “Imagination creates reality.” Richard Wagner
- “The beautiful thing about learning is that nobody can take it away from you.” BB King
- “I can’t understand why people are frightened of new ideas. I’m frightened of the old ones.” John Cage
- “Some people come into our lives, leave footprints on our hearts, and we are never the same.” Schubert
- “I can live only wholly with you or not at all.” Beethoven
- “I pay no attention whatever to anybody’s praise or blame. I simply follow my own feelings.” Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
- “What force is more potent than love?” Igor Stravinsky
- “And, in the end the love you take is equal to the love you make.” Paul McCartney
- “‘Love’ is supreme and unconditional; ‘like’ is nice but limited.” – Duke Ellington
- “I can do nothing but think of you…what have you done to me? Can’t you remove the spell you have cast over me?” Johannes Brahms
- “Be your own artist, and always be confident in what you’re doing. If you’re not going to be confident, you might as well not be doing it.” Aretha Franklin
- “Wanting to be someone else is a waste of the person you are.” Kurt Cobain
- “Trying to please everybody is impossible—if you did that, you’d end up in the middle with nobody liking you. You’ve just got to make the decision about what you think is your best and do it.” John Lennon
- “Listening is the key to everything good in music.” Pat Metheny
- “Lose your dreams and you might lose your mind.” Mick Jagger
- “Too many pieces of music finish too long after the end.” Igor Stravinsky
- “Musicians don’t retire; they stop when there’s no more music in them.” Louis Armstrong
And here are a few of several hundred quotes I have created over the years:
- “How would our world be different if all the great thinkers of history and our time decided not to share their wisdom with the world?”
- “Are you getting butterflies in your stomach when thinking about launching your next great idea? It’s the world telling you to do it!”
- “Begin each day by realizing that you’ve been given the opportunity to improve on the days that have passed and make this new day an incredible one. Call it your daily 2nd”
- When I wait for my muse to show up, it rarely does. Yet, when I get started, it shows up frequently.”
- Create something you never imagine possible.
