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

I play with children so that I can learn from them.

Every child grows; everything depends on the teacher.

Music exists for the purpose of growing an admirable heart.

To make a resolution and act accordingly is to live with hope. There may be difficulties and hardships, but not disappointment or despair if you follow the path steadily. Do not hurry. This is a fundamental rule. If you hurry and collapse or tumble down, nothing is achieved. DO not rest in your efforts; this is another fundamental rule. Without stopping, without haste, carefully taking a step at a time forward will surely get you there.

Musical ability is not an inborn talent but an ability which can be developed. Any child who is properly trained can develop musical ability just as all children develop the ability to speak their mother tongue. The potential of every child is unlimited.

If a musician wants to become a finer artist, he must first become a finer person.
