“Life, like classical music, is full of difficult passages that are conquered as much through endurance and determination as through any particular skill.”
“Through all of living have much joy and laughter, life is to be enjoyed, not just endured.”
“To perceive Christmas through its wrapping becomes more difficult with every year. "The Distant Music of the Hounds," 1954”
“Life is difficult; facts uncompromising; and the passage to that fabled land where our brightest hopes are extinguished, our frail barks founder in darkness, one that needs, above all, courage, truth, and the power to endure.”
“The fifth gift is Hope. Through each passage and season, may you trust the goodness of life.”
“Without music and dance, life is a journey through a desert.”
