| Work so hard that your idols become your rivals. |
| A symphony must be like the world. It must contain everything. |
| Music is the literature of the heart; it commences where speech ends. |
| All music is beautiful. |
| So long as the human spirit thrives on this planet, music in some living form will accompany and sustain it and give it expressive meaning. |
| The music, yearning like a God in pain. |
| The inner nature of man is the province of music. |
| Take a music bath once or twice a week for a few seasons, and you will find that it is to the soul what the water bath is to the body. |
| Music is your own experience, your thoughts, your wisdom. If you don't live it, it won't come out of your horn. |
| My idea is that there is music in the air, music all around us; the world is full of it, and you simply take as much as you require. |
