To Retire Is To Begin To Die.

It Takes Courage For People To Listen To Their Own Goodness And Act On It.

For Twelve Years I Studied And Worked At Them Every Day, And I Was Nearly 25 Before I Had The Courage To Play One Of Them In Public. Before I Did, No Violinist Or Cellist Had Ever Played A Suite In Its Entirety.

The First Thing To Do In Life Is To Do With Purpose What One Purposes To Do.

To Retire Is The Beginning Of Death.

For The Past Eighty Years I Have Started Each Day In The Same Manner... I Go To The Piano, And I Play Preludes And Fugues Of Bach... It Is A Sort Of Benediction On The House.
