“What is man's ultimate direction in life? It is to look for love, truth, virtue, and beauty”

“Beautiful tone, beautiful heart.”

“Man is the Child of his Environment”

“Live by looking for things to do for other people.”

“Teaching music is not my main purpose. I want to make good citizens. If children hear fine music from the day of their birth and learn to play it, they develop sensitivity, discipline and endurance. They get a beautiful heart.”

“I cannot live without children.”

“A child's slowness in any subject indicates a deficiency in his environment, educational or otherwise.”
