"When one of our employees in the National Government does not meet the high standards which we set for ourselves, it becomes, of course, the greatest news."

"I hope that it will be equal news, the story of the accomplishments of these ladies and gentlemen."

"I want to, today, in paying tribute to these musicians, bring to our public mind all the others across this country who themselves are playing and living music."

"But the fact of the matter is that success comes in music or in the arts like success comes in every other form of human endeavor by hard work, by discipline, over a long period of time."
