If a man is not good, what has he to do with the rules of propriety? If he is not good, what has he to do with music?

A man should demand much from himself, but little from others. When you meet a man of worth, think how you may attain to his excellence. When you meet an unworthy one, then look within and examine yourself.

A man without a mustache is a man without a soul.
