The Real Art Of Conducting Consists In

You Must Renounce All Superficiality, All Convention, All Vanity And Delusion.

What Is Best In Music Is Not To Be Found In The Notes.

Tradition Is Tending The Flame, Not Worshiping The Ashes.

That Which Draws Us By Its Mystical Force; What Every Created Thing, Even The Very Stones, Feels With Absolute Certainty As The Center Of Its Being... Is The Force Of Love. Christians Call This "eternal Blessedness." It Is A Necessity Of Man For Growth And Joy.

The Point Is Not To Take The World's Opinion As A Guiding Star But To Go One's Way In Life And Working Unerringly, Neither Depressed By Failure Nor Seduced By Applause.
