“Beware the flatterers of the world...for what is music to the ears may be poison to the soul.”
“Music, even in situations of the greatest horror, should never be painful to the ear but should flatter and charm it, and thereby always remain music.”
“The tongue may be an unruly member--But silence poisons the soul.”
“Nevertheless the passions, whether violent or not, should never be so expressed as to reach the point of disgust; and music, even in situations of the greatest horror, should never be painful to the ear but should flatter and charm it, and thereby always remain music.”
“Beware the toast that has no ears”
“Shattered legs may heal in time, but some betrayals fester and poison the soul.”
