The foundation of friendship demands the greatest likeness of human souls and hearts.
In praise of Thy goodness I must confess that Thou didst try with all Thy means to draw me to Thee. Sometimes it pleased Thee to let me feel the heavy hand of Thy displeasure and to humiliate my proud heart by manifold castigations. Sickness and misfortune didst Thou send upon me to turn my thoughts to my errantries.-One thing, only, O Father, do I ask: cease not to labor for my betterment. In whatsoever manner it be, let me turn to Thee and become fruitful in good works.
Whoever tells a lie is not pure of heart, and such a person can not cook a clean soup.
Oh continue to love me - never misjudge the most faithful heart of your beloved. ever thine ever mine ever ours
What I have in my heart and soul - must find a way out. That's the reason for music.
Good Morning, on July 7 My thoughts go out to you, my Immortal Beloved I can only live wholly with you or not at all- Be calm my life, my all. Only by calm consideration of our existence can we achieve our purpose to live together. Oh continue to love me, never misjudge the most faithful heart of your beloved. Ever Thine Ever Mine Ever Yours
Only the pure in heart can make a good soup.
Anyone who tells a lie has not a pure heart, and cannot make a good soup.
My heart is full of many things there are moments when I feel that speech is nothing after all.
I have never thought of writing for reputation and honor. What I have in my heart must come out; that is the reason why I compose.
Life would be flat without music. It is the background to all I do. It speaks to the heart in its own special way like nothing else.
Music should strike fire from the heart of man, and bring tears form the eyes of woman.
What is to reach the heart must come from above; if it does not come from thence, it will be nothing but notes, body without spirit.
Off with you! You're a happy fellow, for you'll give happiness and joy to many other people. There is nothing better or greater than that!
