#Sometimes Quotes

“Our journey on the path is personal and well lit with the Savior's love.”
“In the most intimate, hidden and innermost ground of the soul, God is always essentially, actively, and substantially present. Here the soul possesses everything by grace which God possesses by nature.”
“Sometimes I think I was making music through the wrong end of a magnifying glass.”
“If you only believe that you're an artist when you have a big advance in your pocket and a single coming out, I would say that's quite soulless.

“The so-called ‘crank’ may be quite original in his ideas. … Invention, however, in the engineering sense involves originality; but not that alone, if the results are to be of value.

Necessity is not always the mother of invention. It may be prevision.”
“My father has said a hundred times, and I have paid attention, that it's stupid to let money be the reason you don't do something.”
