I worked hard. Anyone who works as hard as I did can achieve the same results. The final aim and reason of all music is nothing other than the glorification of God and the refreshment of the spirit.

I have always kept one end in view, namely ... to conduct a well-regulated church music to the honour of God.

The most stupendous miracle in all music.

Music is an agreeable harmony for the honor of God and the permissible delights of the soul.

Bring me coffee before I turn into a goat!

Where there is devotional music, God is always at hand with His gracious presence.

What I have achieved by industry and practice, anyone else with tolerable natural gift and ability can also achieve.
