Words Created Divergencies Between Beings, Because Their Precise Meanings Put An Opinion Around The Idea. Music Only Retains The Highest And Purest Substance Of The Idea, Since It Has The Privilege Of Expressing All, Whilst Excluding Nothing.

The Constitution Of The United States Is Not A Mere Lawyers' Document; It Is A Vehicle Of Life, And Its Spirit Is Always The Spirit Of The Age.

Without Discipline, There Can Be No Freedom.
