Cheer up, children, I am all right.

Rules are my very humble, obedient servants.

Cheer up, children, I am all right.

Young people can learn from my example that something can come from nothing. What I have become is the result of my hard efforts.

The life's story of great geniuses is a sad one, without much tangible reward, which does not inspire future generations to face a similar fate. Alas also, it stands to reason why so many talent will not come to sparkle on the artistic firmanent.

When I think of my God, my heart dances within me for joy, and then my music has to dance, too.

I would give my best quartet for a good razor.
