Johann Sebastian Bach

I was obliged to be industrious; whoever is equally industrious will succeed equally well.

There's nothing remarkable about it. All one has to do is hit the right notes at the right time and the instrument plays itself.

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

Where there is devotional music, God is always at hand with His gracious presence.

I have worked hard. Anyone who works as hard as I did will achieve the same results.

Music is an agreeable harmony for the honor of God and the permissible delights of the soul.

The only thing you have to do is hit the right note at the right time.

I was born to compose.

I find that I must work harder than anyone else, and then it is still not enough.

It's God's fault that I'm so good.

The proper study of music is man.

Music is the sound of God's voice.

I was born too early. I should have been born in a time when music was appreciated more.

The end of all good music is to affect the soul.

Every good musician, if he has a talent for composition, must not only be able to play a piece of music, but also to write down his own thoughts.

Music is a gift of God, not of men.

Music is the language of the soul.

Study hard, and you will achieve much.

Music is the only language in which you cannot say a mean or sarcastic thing.

I play better when I'm hungry.
