Music produces a kind of pleasure which human nature cannot do without.
When you see a good man, try to emulate his examples, and when you see a bad man, search yourself for his faults.
The faults of a superior person are like the sun and moon. They have their faults, and everyone sees them; they change and everyone looks up to them.
