The Real Art Of Conducting Consists In

What I Wanted And What I Visualized While Composing Has Not Always Been Realized.

A Full Cup Of Wine At The Right Time Is Worth More Than All The Kingdoms Of This Earth!

When I Have Reached A Summit, I Leave It With Great Reluctance, Unless It Is To Reach For Another, Higher One.

I Hope You Will No Longer Accuse Me Of A Lack Of Delicacy. As I Now Count On Your Understanding.

I Live Like A Hottentot. I Cannot Exchange One Sensible Word With Anyone.
