Quotes

  • 'I have always been fond of marching. It's rhythmical and it's in unison with your body.' - John Philip Sousa
  • 'If you want to change the world, start off by making your bed... If you make your bed every morning, you will have accomplished the first task of the day. It will give you a small sense of pride, and it will encourage you to do another task, and another, and another. And by the end of the day that one task completed will have turned into many tasks completed. Making your bed will also reinforce the fact that little things in life matter. If you can't do the little things right, you'll never be able to do the big things right. And if by chance you have a miserable day, you will come home to a bed that is made - that you made - and a made bed gives you encouragement that tomorrow will be better. If you want to change the world, start off by making your bed.' - Admiral William H. McRaven
  • 'I'm just a guy who likes to play music with his friends and I'm glad that people enjoy it. I don't know how to do anything else. I grew up marching in the drum corps and playing in bands, so it's just natural to me.' - Dave Grohl
