Nothing is more intolerable than to have to admit to yourself your own errors.

Nothing is more intolerable than to have to admit to yourself your own errors

Music comes to me more readily than words.

Off with you! You're a happy fellow, for you'll give happiness and joy to many other people. There is nothing better or greater than that!

Music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosophy.

Recommend virtue to your children; it alone, not money, can make them happy. I speak from experience.
