“[On the virtuous man] "He combines the highest, lowest and middle chords in complete harmony within himself.”
“ For the value of everything exists for man only so long as he does not understand it. When he has fully understood, the value is lost, be it the lowest thing or the highest thing. ”
“A man always assumes that others are as virtuous as himself”
“The lowest ebb brings the highest tide.”
“The virtuous man contents himself with dreaming that which the wicked man does in actual life.”
“Next to the Word of God, music deserves the highest praise. The gift of language combined with the gift of song was given to man that he should proclaim the Word of God through Music.”
