„Čierny chlieb robí deti dobrými a poslušnými. Biely chlieb ich robí tvrdohlavými a neúctivými.“
„Keď uctievame Máriu, nesmieme ju oddeliť od Krista. Uctievajme ju, ale nie bez Krista, ktorého nosí vo svojom náručí. Prijmime Krista, ale s ním aj Cirkev - a milujme ju.“
„Zrodila sa v deň, keď bol človek povolaný, aby vo svojom dočasnom pozemskom živote uskutočňoval ľudskú dôstojnosť v osobnej slobode, v rešpektovaní práv druhého človeka a v praktozovaní bratskej lásky ku všetkým. Nikdy pred Kristom neboli vyslovené podobné myšlienky. Demokracia je zvviazaníá s kresťanstvom v myslení i v čase. Zrodila sa s ním len postupne, po dlhom tápaní, niekedy za cenu optovného upadnutia do barbarstva.“
„If, while at the piano, you attempt to form little melodies, that is very well; but if they come into your mind of themselves, when you are not practising, you may be still more pleased; for the internal organ of music is then roused in you. The fingers must do what the head desires; not the contrary.“
„Endeavour to play easy pieces well and with elegance; that is better than to play difficult pieces badly.“
Advice to Young Musicians
„Remember, there are more people in the world than yourself. Be modest! You have not yet invented nor thought anything which others have not thought or invented before. And should you really have done so, consider it a gift of heaven which you are to share with others.“
„If we were all determined to play the first violin we should never have an ensemble. Therefore, respect every musician in his proper place.“
„Think it a vile habit to alter works of good composers, to omit parts of them, or to insert new-fashioned ornaments. This is the greatest insult you can offer to Art.“
Advice to Young Musicians
„You will be most readily cured of vanity or presumption by studying the history of music, and by hearing the master pieces which have been produced at different periods.“
„From a pound of iron, that costs little, a thousand watch-springs can be made, whose value becomes prodigious. The pound you have received from the Lord,--use it faithfully.“
„You should neither play bad compositions, nor, unless compelled, listen to them.“
