A patriotic song is an emotion and you must not embarrass an audience with it, or they will hate your guts.
Life is 10 percent what you make it, and 90 percent how you take it.
The song is ended, but the melody lingers on.
You can't write a song out of thin air you have to feel and know what you are writing about.
A pretty girl is like a melody. That haunts you night and day.
Everybody ought to have a lower East Side in their life.
