Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

"Health is the foundation upon which all else is built."

"Change is the only constant in this world."

"I am my music, and my music is me."

"The music is not in the notes, but in the silence between them."

"Silence is a source of great strength."

"When words fail, music speaks."

"I pay no attention whatever to anybody's praise or blame. I simply follow my own feelings."

"The joy of creation comes from within oneself."

"Life without music would be a mistake."

"A man who makes no mistakes never tried anything new."

"Neither a lofty degree of intelligence nor imagination nor both together go into the making of genius. Love, love, love, that is the soul of genius."

"Conduct yourself in life as you would at a dinner party."

"The passions, whether violent or not, should never be so expressed as to reach the point of causing disgust."

"I am not proud, but I am happy; and happiness blinds one to defects."

"One should as a rule respect public opinion in its general aspects, but never be influenced by it."

"People err who think my art has come easily to me."

"Creativity is intelligence having fun."

"The true measure of a person is how they treat those who can do them no good."

"Everything is simpler than one thinks, yet more complex than one realizes."

"Where my reason begins to fail, I must trust upon something higher."

"A little sincerity is a dangerous thing, and a great deal of it is absolutely fatal."

"The greatest composers steal from others."

"Do not weep; I am not lost to you forever."

"Ah, how I wish I could dissolve utterly into music."

"I have for many years ceased to expect anything from our age."

"My dearest friend, clear your mind of cant."

"When I think of life, I value health infinitely more than wealth."

"The sweet cherry and the nut must grow in May."

"A person who doubts himself is like a man who would enlist in the ranks of his enemies."

"Talent is a spark you may kindle in yourself."
