Music is the universal language of mankind.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Outre-Mer: A Pilgrimage Beyond the Sea.

You just pick a chord, go twang, and you've got music.
Sid Vicious

If music be the food of love, play on;
Give me excess of it, that, surfeiting,
The appetite may sicken, and so die.
That strain again! it had a dying fall:
O, it came o'er my ear like the sweet sound
That breathes upon a bank of violets,
Stealing and giving odour!
William Shakespeare

There's music in the sighing of a reed;
There's music in the gushing of a rill;

Ronald Reagan

Music hath charms to soothe a savage breast,
To soften rocks, or bend a knotted oak.
William Congreve
The Mourning Bride.

Music is the wine that fills the cup of silence.
Robert Fripp

There is sweet music here that softer falls
Than petals from blown roses on the grass,
Or night-dews on still waters between walls
Of shadowy granite, in a gleaming pass;
Music that gentlier on the spirit lies,
Than tired eyelids upon tired eyes;
Music that brings sweet sleep down from the blissful skies.
Alfred Lord Tennyson
Song of the Lotus Eaters.

Country music is three chords and the truth.
Harlan Howard

Music expresses feeling and thought, without language; it was below and before speech, and it is above and beyond all words.
Robert G. Ingersoll

The man that hath no music in himself,
Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds,
Is fit for treasons, stratagems, and spoils.
William Shakespeare

Music is a friend of labor for it lightens the task by refreshing the nerves and spirit of the worker.
William Green

Music is the medicine of the breaking heart.
Leigh Hunt

Pam Brown

Are we not formed, as notes of music are,
For one another, though dissimilar?
Percy Bysshe Shelley

Plato

Music produces a kind of pleasure which human nature cannot do without.
Confucius

Music is the art of the prophets, the only art that calms the agitations of the soul.
Martin Luther

Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.
Berthold Auerbach
