“While you've a lucifer to light your fag,
Smile, boys, that's the style.

Pack up your troubles in your old kit-bag,
And smile, smile, smile.”

“Play with joy, with a smile. If you aren't enjoying it—stop. Never practice—that's just the brain. Always play, even if the audience is afar. That's the heart as well. Don't judge your playing—for then it is not play, but hard work. Just aim to refine your intention.”

John Diamond (doctor) (1934) Australian doctor
