If you can't do anything as good as or even better than what you have already done, then don't do it.

I should like to shake Eric Coates but I won't. When I meet him he says, "I just love every note you have written." and I believe he does--but--as you say--well!

I am one of those men who never enter into controversies but I shall certainly speak my views to anybody whom I may meet on the subject.
