I would rather write 10,000 notes than a single letter of the alphabet.

The Music is the only corporeal introduction to the superior world of Knowledge.

The barriers are not erected which can say to aspiring talents and industry, 'Thus far and no farther.'

He who understand my music will remain free from the miseries that the other men are dragging with them .

You're a happy fellow, for you'll give happiness and joy to many other people. There is nothing better or greater than that.

I am resolved to rise superior to every obstacle. With whom need I be afraid of measuring my strength? I will take Fate by the throat. It shall not overcome me. O how beautiful it is to be alive - would that I could live a thousand times!

Only the pure in heart can make a good soup.
