Of all the music that reached farthest into heaven, it is the beating of a loving heart.
Author: Henry Ward Beecher
There need not be in religion, or music, or art, or love, or goodness, anything that is against reason; but never while the sun shines will we get great religion, or music, or art, or love, or goodness, without going beyond reason.
Author: Harry Emerson Fosdick
Every saint in heaven is as a flower in the garden of God, and holy love is the fragrance and sweet odor that they all send forth, and with which they fill the bowers of that paradise above. Every soul there is as a note in some concert of delightful music, that sweetly harmonizes with every other note, and all together blend in the most rapturous strains in praising God and the Lamb forever.
Author: Jonathan Edwards
My heart, which is so full to overflowing, has often been solaced and refreshed by music when sick and weary.
Author: Martin Luther
Next to the Word of God, the noble art of music is the greatest treasure in the world.
Author: Martin Luther
The devil does not stay where music is.
Author: Martin Luther
Next to theology I give to music the highest place and honor. And we see how David and all the saints have wrought their godly thoughts into verse, rhyme, and song.
Author: Martin Luther
Music is one of the fairest and most glorious gifts of God, to which Satan is a bitter enemy, for it removes from the heart the weight of sorrow, and the fascination of evil thoughts.
Author: Martin Luther
| Music is nothing else but wild sounds civilized into time and tune. Author: Thomas Fuller |
 Secular music, do you say, belongs to the devil? Does it? Well, if it did I would plunder him for it, for he has no right to a single note of the whole seven. Every note, and every strain, and every harmony is divine, and belongs to us. Author: William Booth
The devil, the originator of sorrowful anxieties and restless troubles, flees before the sound of music almost as much as before the Word of God....Music is a gift and grace of God, not an invention of men. Thus it drives out the devil and makes people cheerful. Then one forgets all wrath, impurity, and other devices.”
― Martin Luther

“A person who...does not regard music as a marvelous creation of God, must be a clodhopper indeed and does not deserve to be called a human being; he should be permitted to hear nothing but the braying of asses and the grunting of hogs."
[Foreward to Georg Rhau's (1488-1548) Collection Symphoniae iucundae, 1538]” ― Martin Luther
“If I were not a physicist, I would probably be a musician. I often think in music. I live my daydreams in music. I see my life in terms of music.”
