Music is a therapy.It is a communication far more powerful than words, far more immediate, far more efficient.

I can only think of music as something inherent in every human being - a birthright. Music coordinates mind, body and spirit.

In all teaching there must be a fusion of authority as an adult providing a stable framework for the children in one's care, and humility as another human being ready to educate an equal who may turn out to be a superior.

Peace may sound simple - one beautiful word - but it requires everything we have, every quality, every strength, every dream, every high ideal.

Life is not a finished product, it is only what we make of it, and if we make nothing of it, someone else will, and we will be his slave.

There are no rules in the service of God, and this itself is no rule.

There are three levels of service. The highest level is that of one who performs good deeds the whole day and yet feels that he has not acheived anything. The second level is someone who, though he has not done anything, knows that he has not corrected anything in this world. This is good, and there is hope for him that he might correct his ways. However, someone who is righteous in his own eyes deceived himself all his life; his good deeds will be lost.
