Quote of the Week– Change
I beg you, do not be unchangeable.
Do not believe that you alone can be right.
The man who thinks that,
The man who maintains that only he has the power
to reason correctly, the gift to speak, the soul–
A man like that, when you know him, turns out empty.
(Greek philosopher Sophocles)

Bach gave us God’s word,
Mozart gave us God’s laughter,

Quote of the Week — Listening
His thoughts were slow,
His words were few, and never formed to glisten,
But he was a joy to all his friends –
You should have heard him listen.
