"It is important to practice often during the day, and not a long time. 
Play thirty minutes and rest fifteen minutes. Then play thirty minutes,
rest thirty minutes. Play thirty minutes and rest an hour. 
The lips are a muscle and it is important to rest them frequently. 
In all, it is good to practice four hours per day."
                                           ~Maurice Andre

"The only person you're truly competing against is yourself.  
You have to measure your successes and your failures within, 
not by anything that I or anyone else might think." 
                                            ~Jean-Luc Picard
