By love, harmony and beauty you must turn the whole of life into a single vision of divine glory.

Your heart is not living intil it has experienced pain... the pain of love breaks open the heart, even if it is as hard as a rock.

The discrimination between good and evil is in man's soul. Every man can judge that for himself, because in every man is the sense of admiration of beauty. Happiness only lies in thinking or doing that which one considers beautiful. Such an act becomes a virtue or goodness.

As one can see when the eyes are open, so one can understand when the heart is open.

For a musician, music is the best way to unite with God.

There are two ways in which we may attain control over our activity. The first is confidence in the power of our own will; to know that if we have failed today, tomorrow we will not do so. The second is to have our eyes wide open, and to watch keenly our activity in all aspects of life. It is in the dark that we fall, but in the light we can see where we are going.

Every man's path is for himself; let him accomplish his own desires that he may thus be able to rise above them to the eternal goal.
