Ah! How sweet coffee tastes! Lovelier than a thousand kisses, sweeter far than muscatel wine!

I worked hard. Anyone who works as hard as I did can achieve the same results. The final aim and reason of all music is nothing other than the glorification of God and the refreshment of the spirit.

God's gift to his sorrowing creatures is a joy worthy of their destiny.

It cannot remain unmentioned that so many poorly equipped boys, and boys who have no talent at all for music, have been accepted into the school to date that the quality of music has necessarily declined and deteriorated. And those who do bring a few precepts with them when they come to school are not ready to be used immediately.

You just have to press the right keys and the right pedals at the right time and the music plays itself.

Without my morning coffee I'm just like a dried up piece of roast goat.

I was made to work. If you are equally industrious, you will be equally successful.
