    Believe me! The secret of reaping the greatest fruitfulness and the greatest enjoyment from life is to live dangerously!

  • Determination
    He who has a why to live for can bear almost any how.

  • Ambition
    He who would learn to fly one day must first learn to stand and walk and run and climb and dance; one cannot fly into flying.

  • Music
    In music the passions enjoy themselves.

  • Business
    On the mountains of truth you can never climb in vain: either you will reach a point higher up today, or you will be training your powers so that you will be able to climb higher tomorrow.

  • Ability
    What doesn't kill us makes us stronger.

  • Life
    Without music, life would be a mistake.
