I have so much to do today, I'll need to spend another hour on my knees.

Music is one of the fairest and most glorious gifts of God.

A man who has no part in the grace of God, cannot keep the commandments of God, or prepare himself, either wholly or in part, to receive grace; but he rests of necessity under the power of sin.

I have no use for cranks who despise music, because it is a gift of God. Music drives away the Devil and makes people joyful; they forget thereby all wrath, unchastity, arrogance, and the like. Next after theology, I give to music the highest place and the greatest honor.

I see a word that hates evil more than it loves good.

If I am not allowed to laugh in heaven, I don't want to go there.

Spare the rod and spoil the child - that is true. But, beside the rod, keep an apple to give him when he has done well.
