You always feel better when you sing.
Music touches people's hearts.

and move yourself at the same

Take time to laugh.
It is the music of the soul.
Take time to think.
It is the source of power.
Take time to play.
It is the source of perpetual youth.
Take time to read.
It is the fountain of wisdom.
Take time to pray.
It is the greatest power on Earth.
Take time to love and be loved.
It is a God-given privilege.
Take time to be friendly.
It is the road to happiness.
Take time to give.
It is too short a day to be selfish.
Take time to work.
It is the price of success.
- Anonymous

There are choirs singing in your head.
If you listen, you will hear the music.
It is the song of angels.
Pay no attention to the sounds of the world.
They are just noises, and even when
added up all together
they have no value, make no sense.
Strain to hear the song of angels.
Listen to the melody within your soul.
- Neale Donald Walsch

be able to move forward the life that God intended
for you with grace, strength, courage, and confidence.
- Og Mandino

in what I do and in my art or my music,

Music is everybody's possession.
It's only publishers who think that people own it.

The body is an instrument which
only gives off music when it is used as a body.
Always an orchestra, and just as music traverses walls,

If we have a big floor, many people will dance.
Some will get angry when the rhythm changes.
