My heart, which is so full to overflowing, has often been solaced and refreshed by music when sick and weary.
I cannot and will not recant anything, for to go against conscience is neither right nor safe. Here I stand, I can do no other. God help me. Amen.
The human heart is like a ship on a stormy sea driven about by winds blowing from all four corners of heaven.
Music is a discipline, and a mistress of order and good manners, she makes the people milder and gentler, more moral and more reasonable.
