A bell's not a bell 'til you ring it, A song's not a song 'til you sing it, Love in your heart wasn't put there to stay, Love isn't love 'til you give it away!
The number of people who will not go to a show they do not want to see is unlimited.
You've got to be taught to hate and fear.
There is nothin' like a dame.
All the sounds of the earth are like music.
You gotta have a dream. If you don't have a dream, how you gonna make a dream come true?
