Quotes by Shinichi Suzuki  (?)

“To make a resolution and act accordingly is to live with hope. There may be difficulties and hardships, but not disappointment or despair if you follow the path steadily. Do not hurry. This is a fundamental rule. If you hurry and collapse or tumble down, nothing is achieved. DO not rest in your efforts; this is another fundamental rule. Without stopping, without haste, carefully taking a step at a time forward will surely get you there.”
Shinichi Suzuki, Nurtured by Love: The Classic Approach to Talent Education

“Teaching music is not my main purpose. I want to make good citizens. If children hear fine music from the day of their birth and learn to play it, they develop sensitivity, discipline and endurance. They get a beautiful heart.”
Shinichi Suzuki

“To deceive oneself is worse than to deceive others." These harsh words pierced me to the core.”
Shinichi Suzuki, Nurtured by Love: The Classic Approach to Talent Education
