Life Lessons Via Stephen Sondheim

1. Careful the things you say, children will listen.
2. Everybody’s got the right to be happy.
3. A person should celebrate everything passing by.
4. It’s the little things you do together that make perfect relationships.
5. Everybody ought to have a maid.
6. Nice is different than good.
7. Don’t be afraid that it won’t be perfect. The only thing to be afraid of, really, is that it won’t be.
8. Anything you do, let it come from you — then it will be new. Give us more to see.
9. If you wanna bump it, bump it with a trumpet.
10. And for God’s sake, finish the hat.
