Music has been called the speech of the angels; I will go farther and call it the speech of God himself.

From Psalm 29:3-4:  “The voice of the Lord is over the waters; the God of glory thunders, the Lord, over mighty waters.  The voice of the Lord is powerful; the voice of the Lord is full of majesty.”

The people whom I have seen succeed best in life have always been cheerful and hopeful people who went about their business with smiles on their faces.

From Genesis 33:10:  “Jacob said, ‘No, please; if I find favor with you, then accept my present from my hand, for truly to see your face is like seeing the face of God, since you have received me with such favor.'”

Do noble things, do not dream them all day long.  

From Romans 14:22-23:  “The faith that you have, have as your own conviction before God. Blessed are those who have no reason to condemn themselves because of what they approve.  But those who have doubts are condemned if they eat, because they do not act from faith; for whatever does not proceed from faith is sin.”

Make it a rule, and pray to God to help you to keep it, never to lie down at night without being able to say, “I have made at least one human being a little wiser, a little happier, or a little better this day.”

From Ephesians 4:29:  “Let no evil talk come out of your mouths, but only what is useful for building up, as there is need, so that your words may give grace to those who hear.”
