“The power of music is still with me, every day. It's one of the most inspiring things available in the world.”
“The power of music is still with me, every day. It's one of the most inspiring things available in the world. I write with music. I write scenes in movies that hopefully can earn the use of some songs that are powerful to me. But, I think it just came from being affected by strong, personal art.”
“The power of music just kinda kills all those ills; it cures everything and you’ve got more energy just from the music. And, I’ve never seen it fail. It’s good for ya; real good for ya.”
“The power of music, narrative and drama is of the greatest practical and theoretical importance. One may see this even in the case of idiots, with IQs below 20 and the extremest motor incompetence and bewilderment. Their uncouth movements may disappear in a moment with music and dancing—suddenly, with music, they know how to move. We see how the retarded, unable to perform fairly simple tasks involving perhaps four or five movements or procedures in sequence, can do these perfectly if they work to music—the sequence of movements they cannot hold as schemes being perfectly holdable as music, i.e. embedded in music. The same may be seen, very dramatically, in patients with severe frontal lobe damage and apraxia—an inability to do things, to retain the simplest motor sequences and programmes, even to walk, despite perfectly preserved intelligence in all other ways. This procedural defect, or motor idiocy, as one might call it, which completely defeats any ordinary system of rehabilitative instruction, vanishes at once if music is the instructor. All this, no doubt, is the rationale, or one of the rationales, of work songs.”

“The power of one is above all things the power to believe in yourself, often well beyond any latent ability you may have previously demonstrated. The mind is the athlete; the body is simply the means it uses to run faster or longer, jump higher, shoot straighter, kick better, swim harder, hit further, or box better. Hoppie's dictum to me, "First with the head and then with the heart," was more than simply mixing brains with guts. It meant thinking well beyond the powers of normal concentration and then daring your courage to follow your thoughts.”

“The Power of Patient Waiting
Waiting is never easy. It drains your enthusiasm, making you restless to charge ahead, seize the moment, and pour your all into the fight. Only a fool would choose hesitation, and only the idle would welcome delay in the heat of action.
Yet, waiting is the vulture’s strength. It watches, poised, biding its time for the perfect strike. To the untrained eye, the waiting vulture seems foolish—but its patience is not passivity. It is strategy and intentionality in motion, turning restraint into reward, trading haste for precision.
Patience is not mere inconvenience—it is necessity. Though it may feel like time wasted, its true cost is only short-term. Waiting sharpens focus, hones skill, and prepares you for what lies ahead. It clears the mind of bias, aligns action with purpose, and leads to wiser choices. In patience, energy is preserved, and ability is refined. It is the cure for reckless impulse.
No victory comes without patience. Only faith that is accompanied by patience inherit the promise of a desired end. For everyone that waits actively and purposely, triumph is inevitable.”

“The power of perpetuating our property in our families is one of the most valuable and interesting circumstances belonging to it, and that which tends most to the perpetuation of society itself. It makes our weakness subservient to our virtue; it grafts benevolence even upon avarice. The possession of family wealth and of the distinction which attends hereditary possessions (as most concerned in it,) are the natural securities for this transmission.”
