Each Person Has Inside A Basic Decency And Goodness. If He Listens To It And Acts On It, He Is Giving A Great Deal Of What It Is The World Needs Most. It Is Not Complicated But It Takes Courage. It Takes Courage For A Person To Listen To His Own Goodness And Act On It.

Real Understanding Does Not Come From What We Learn In Books; It Comes From What We Learn From Love Of Nature, Of Music, Of Man. For Only What Is Learned In That Way Is Truly Understood.

Music Will Save The World.

I Do Not Think A Day Passes In My Life In Which I Fail To Look With Fresh Amazement At The Miracle Of Nature.

Music Must Serve A Purpose; It Must Be A Part Of Something Larger Than Itself, A Part Of Humanity.
