Life is a Beautiful
Struggle.
"YOU
HAVE COME FROM GOD, YOU ARE A SPARK OF HIS GLORY.
YOU
WILL GET PEACE ONLY WHEN YOU AGAIN MERGE IN HIM."

Success
is not measured by what you accomplish, but by the opposition you have
encountered, the courage with which you have fought the struggle against
overwhelming odds. Human progress is neither automatic nor inevitable... Every step
toward the goal of justice requires sacrifice, suffering, and struggle; the
tireless exertions and passionate concern of dedicated individuals. Change does
not roll in on the wheels of inevitability, but comes through continuous
struggle. And so we must straighten our backs and work for our betterment for
no man can ride unless your back is bent.
Some of us need to discover that we will not be comfortable
until we have the courage to do and experience more less than usual... There
are times, then, when in order to keep ourselves in existence, we simply have
to sit back for a while and do nothing. And for a man who has let himself be
drawn completely out of himself by his activity, nothing is more difficult than
to sit still and rest, doing nothing at all. The very act of resting is the
hardest and most courageous act he can perform at that time.

One who lives life with passion is like a bright burning fire
and as a small, dim fire can easily be extinguished by gusts of wind, but a
large, bright one will grow bigger as the wind grows stronger. In the same way,
the more obstacles a passionate person encounters, the brighter and stronger
that person grows.
Our
duty is to encourage everyone in his struggle to live up to his own ideas, and
strive at the same time to make the ideal closer to the Truth. The battle of
life is, in most cases, fought uphill; and to win it without a struggle is
perhaps to win it without honour. If there were no difficulties there would be
no success; if there were nothing to struggle for, there would be nothing to be
achieved. In these confused times, the role of classical music is very essential
to reassert cultural and ethical values that have always characterized our
country and for which we have traditionally been honored and respected outside
our shores.
