Pitch is everything

When I was doing my PPL, my instructor mentioned that when he was first learning to fly his first instructor had said 'Whatever plane you fly - pitch is everything', He (my instructor) then said that it was only when he had around 800 hours under his belt that he truely understood what his instructor had meant.

As a lowly 100 hour PPL, I think I know what he meant (I'm assuming it was that nothing is more important than AoA) but that's not exactly what he said, so perhaps I'm still in the dark.

Discuss.
