All the arts serving human desires and needs are derived from the breath that Godsent into the human body.

Every element has a sound, an original sound from the order of God; all those sounds unite like the harmony from harps and zithers.

A human being is a vessel that God has built for himself and filled with his inspiration so that his works are perfected in it.

Dare to declare who you are. It is not far from the shores of silence to the boundaries of speech. The path is not long, but the way is deep. You must not only walk there, you must be prepared to leap.

Humanity, take a good look at yourself. Inside, you’ve got heaven and earth, and all of creation. You’re a world—everything is hidden in you.

When the words come, they are merely empty shells without the music. They live as they are sung, for the words are the body and the music the spirit.

Don't let yourself forget that God's grace rewards not only those who never slip, but also those who bend and fall. So sing! The song of rejoicing softens hard hearts. It makes tears of godly sorrow flow from them. Singing summons the Holy Spirit. Happy praises offered in simplicity and love lead the faithful to complete harmony, without discord. Don't stop singing.
