God is ever before my eyes. I realize his omnipotence and I fear His anger; but I also recognize his compassion, and His tenderness towards His creatures.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (Composer, 1756 – 1791)

Let us put our trust in God and console ourselves with the thought that all is well, if it is in accordance with the will of the Almighty, as He knows best what is profitable and beneficial to our temporal happiness and our eternal salvation.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (Composer, 1756 – 1791)

As death, when we come to consider it closely, is the true goal of our existence. I have formed during the last few years such close relations with this best and truest friend of mankind, that his image is not only no longer terrifying to me, but is very soothing and consoling! I thank my God for graciously granting me the opportunity of learning that death is the key which unlocks the door to our true happiness.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (Composer, 1756 – 1791)

I have always kept one end in view, namely … to conduct a well-regulated church music to the honour of God.

Johann Sebastian Bach (Composer, 1685 – 1750)

I play the notes as they are written, but it is God who makes the music.

Johann Sebastian Bach (Composer, 1685 – 1750)

The aim and final end of all music should be none other than the glory of God and the refreshment of the soul.

Johann Sebastian Bach (Composer, 1685 – 1750)

“If a man is not made for God, why is he happy only in God?”

Blaise Pascal (Physicist, Philosopher 1623 – 1662)

“There is nothing that we can see on earth which does not either show the wretchedness of man or the mercy of God. One either sees the powerlessness of man without God, or the strength of man with God.”

Blaise Pascal (Physicist, Philosopher 1623 – 1662)

“[Unbelievers] think they have made great efforts to get at the truth when they have spent a few hours in reading some book out of Holy Scripture, and have questioned some cleric about the truths of the faith. After that, they boast that they have searched in books and among men in vain.”

Blaise Pascal (Physicist, Philosopher 1623 – 1662)

“We should seek the truth without hesitation; and, if we refuse it, we show that we value the esteem of men more than the search for truth.”

Blaise Pascal (Physicist, Philosopher 1623 – 1662)
