Music wasn't made to make us wise, but better natured.

It is true that wealth won't make a man virtuous, but I notice there ain't anybody who wants to be poor just for the purpose of being good.

There is nothing so easy to learn as experience and nothing so hard to apply.

Experience makes more timid men than it does wise ones.
