“Entrance into Heaven is not at the hour of death, but at the moment of conversion.”

It is base and unworthy to live below the dignity of our nature.

The more mysterious, the more imperfect: that which is mystically spoken is but half spoken.

Take away the self-conceited, and there will be elbowroom in the world.

I do have to admit that teaching, composing, and editing is a bit easier than sitting at the organ or harpsichord for seven straight hours, but I do love to do it anyway! I have found my career changing over the years.
