The First Thing To Do In Life

I Am A Very Simple Man. I Am A Man First, An Artist Second. My First Obligation Is To The Welfare Of My Fellow Man. I Will Endeavour To Meet This Obligation Through Music, Since It Transcends Language, Politics And National Boundaries.

Each Second We Live Is A New And Unique Moment Of The Universe; A Moment That Never Was Before And Never Will Be Again.

Beauty Is All About Us, But How Many Are Blind! They Look At The Wonder Of This Earth And Seem To See Nothing. People Move Hectically But Give Little Thought To Where They Are Going. They Seek Excitement ... As If They Were Lost And Desperate.

Each Person Has Inside A Basic Decency And Goodness. If He Listens To It And Acts On It, He Is Giving A Great Deal Of What It Is The World Needs Most. It Is Not Complicated But It Takes Courage. It Takes Courage For A Person To Listen To His Own Goodness And Act On It.

I Feel The Capacity To Care Is The Thing Which Gives Life Its Deepest Significance.
