Quote

Love, peace and soul.

Love... it surrounds every being and extends slowly to embrace all that shall be.

Surrounded by all the members of my dear family, enjoying the affection of numerous friends, who have never abandoned me, and possessing a sufficient share of all that contributes to make life agreeable, I lift my grateful eyes towards the Supreme Being and feel that I am happy.

We all know about love, faith, sadness, despair, hope, hopelessness, longing, desire... those are things we all have inside of us, and that's what my songs are about... what it means to be a human being.

Happiness, contentment, the health and growth of the soul, depend, as men have proved over and over again, upon some simple issue, some single turning of the soul.

Gratitude, warm, sincere, intense, when it takes possession of the bosom, fills the soul to overflowing and scarce leaves room for any other sentiment or thought.

Smiles, tears, of all my life! - and, if God choose, I shall but love thee better after death.

Faith, mighty faith, the promise sees, And looks to God alone; Laughs at impossibilities, And cries it shall be done.

That I may have the soul-life, the soul-nature, let divine beauty bring to me divine soul.

Seek goodness and be goodness. Seek beauty and be beauty. Seek love and be love.
