You never toot your own horn.

Tooting my own horn is of no interest to me... it takes you away from real life. It's a waste, and I don't find a need to sing my own praises.

But if I didn't have to make money, I would still play my horn.

Life is something like a trumpet. If you don't put anything in, you won't get anything out.

Living never wore one out so much as the effort not to live.

Any time you play your horn, it helps you. If you get down, you can help yourself even in a rock 'n' roll band.

You're not living if you don't go out and try things for yourself.

Get someone else to blow your horn and the sound will carry twice as far.
