John Philip Sousa

Jazz will endure as long as people hear it through their feet instead of their brains

My success is not due to any personal superiority over other people.

Remember always that the composer's pen is still mightier than the bow of the violinist in you lie all the possibilities of the creation of beauty.

Anybody can write music of a sort. But touching the public heart is quite another thing.

I have always believed that 98% of a student's progress is due to his own efforts, and 2% to his teacher.

Jazz will endure just as long as people hear it through their feet instead of their brains.
