"Music is the art of the prophets, the only art that can calm the agitations of the soul; it is one of the most magnificent and delightful presents God has given us." ~ Martin Luther
"Music is what feelings sound like." ~ Author Unknown
"There is nothing in the world so much like prayer as music is." ~ William P. Merrill
"Play the music, not the instrument." ~ Author Unknown
"The aim and final end of all music should be none other than the glory of God and the refreshment of the soul." ~ Johann Sebastian Bach
"If you do not hope, you will not find what is beyond your hopes." ~ St. Clement of Alexandra
"If music is food for the soul, play on." ~ Shakespeare
"If we did all the things we are capable of doing, we would literally astonish ourselves . . . " ~ Author Unknown
"Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life." ~ Berthold Auerbach
"I wish to see all arts, principally music, in the service of Him who gave and created them. Music is a fair and glorious gift of God. I would not for the world undergo my humble share of music. Singers are never sorrowful, but merry, and smile through their troubles in song. Music makes people kinder, gentler, more staid and reasonable. I am strongly persuaded that after theology there is no art that can be placed on a level with music; for besides theology, music is the only art capable of affording peace and joy of the heart ... the devil flees before the sound of music almost as much as before the Word of God."
~ Martin Luther
