Lovers embrace that which is between them rather than each other. Kahlil Gibran

To strip human nature until its divine attributes are made clear,
to inform ordinary activities with spiritual fervor,
to give wings of eternity to that which is most ephemeral;
to make divine things human and human things divine;
such is Bach, the g. Pablo Casals

Ideals are like stars: you will not succeed in touching them with your hands, but like the seafaring man on the ocean desert of waters, you choose them as your guides, and following them, you reach your destiny. Carl Schurz

The vision must be followed by the venture.
It is not enough to stare up the steps – we must step up the stairs. Vance Havner
