Tone has the living soul.

Music is the language of the heart without words.

It is in our power to educate all the children of the world to become a little better as people, a little happier.

I have come to the definite conclusion that musical ability is not an inborn talent but an ability which can be developed.

Talent is no accident of birth. In today's society a good many people seem to have the idea that if one is born without talent, there is nothing he can do about it; they simply resign themselves to what they consider to be their fate.

A child's slowness in any subject indicates a deficiency in his environment, educational or otherwise.

Wrong education and upbringing produces ugly personalities, whereas a fine upbringing and good education will bring forth superior sense and feeling, as well as nobility and purity of mind.
