Rhythm keeps the breath in music and I am old enough to have friends who’ve considered themselves former beatniks.

A fine late drummer who comes to mind is the one some called a drum god and Buddy Rich called him the inspiration for every big-name drummer in the business. He was Gene Krupa, the king of swing.

If The Beatles had become conceited, they couldn’t have possibly operated at the level they did without a healthy belief in their talents.

The FAB FOUR never took themselves too seriously. That’s why you can find numerous instances throughout their songs where they snuck in some sneaky in-jokes and references that might slip right by you in case you’re not listening too closely.

Faith, Hope, and Charity are three of my favorites and also some of the best words to live by. 

FAITH

The assent of the mind to the truth of a proposition or statement for which there is no complete evidence; belief in general.

Specifically Firm belief is based upon confidence in the authority and veracity of another, rather than upon one's knowledge, reason, or judgment; earnest and trustful confidence: as, to have faith in the testimony of a witness; to have faith in a friend.
