Quote by Artur Schnabel

Applause is a receipt, not a bill.

Applause is a receipt, not a bill.

Summary

This quote suggests that the recognition or admiration received from others, symbolized by applause, should not be seen as a form of debt that needs to be repaid. Instead, it is a validation or confirmation of one's achievements or talents. Applause serves as a kind of proof or evidence that others appreciate and value what you have done or the qualities you possess. It emphasizes that one should not feel obligated to constantly strive for applause or approval, but rather focus on personal growth and fulfillment without expecting anything in return.
