Billy Joel

Slow down you're doing fine _x000D_ You can't be everything you want to be before your time.

Though you can see when you're wrong, you know you can't always see when you're right.

For whatever reason, not all people are born with the particular gift of being able to express ourselves through music. And, believe me, it is a gift.

Someday we'll all be gone, but lullabies go on and on / They never die, that's how you and I will be

Life is a series of hellos and goodbyes; I'm afraid it's time for goodbye again

Sing us a song you're the piano man._x000D_ _x000D_ Sing us a song tonight._x000D_ _x000D_ Cause we're all in the mood for a melody,_x000D_ _x000D_ And you've got us feeling all right.

The joy of life is made up of obscure and seemingly mundane victories that give us our own small satisfactions.

And the only people I fear are those who never have doubts... Save us all from arrogant men, and all the causes they're for.

Some people stay far away from the door if there's a chance of it opening up. They hear a voice in the hall outside and hope that it just passes by.

In every heart there is a room, a sanctuary safe and strong, to heal the wounds from lovers past, until a new one comes along... So I would choose to be with you. That's if the choice were mine to make. But you can make decisions too. And you can have this heart to break. And so it goes, and so it goes. And you're the only one who knows.

I watched the mighty skyline fall

Honesty is such a lonely word. Everyone is so untrue.

I have a theory that the only original things we ever do are mistakes.

I think music in itself is healing. It's an explosive expression of humanity.

In a way, we are magicians. We are alchemists, sorcerers and wizards. We are a very strange bunch. But there is great fun in being a wizard.

Have you listened to the radio lately? Have you heard the canned, frozen and processed product being dished up to the world as American popular music today?

Musicians want to be the loud voice for so many quiet hearts.

Why do musicians give so much time to charitable causes? The most humanitarian cause that we can give our time to is the creation and performance of music itself.

Like family, we are tied to each other. This is what all good musicians understand.

I think music in itself is healing. It's an explosive expression of humanity. It's something we are all touched by. No matter what culture we're from, everyone loves music.

I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints - the sinners are much more fun.
