Famous quotes containing the word harmony:

    Even the utmost goodwill and harmony and practical kindness are not sufficient for Friendship, for Friends do not live in harmony merely, as some say, but in melody. We do not wish for Friends to feed and clothe our bodies,—neighbors are kind enough for that,—but to do the like office to our spirits. For this few are rich enough, however well disposed they may be.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Every word has its fragrance: there is a harmony and a disharmony of fragrances, and hence of words.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    From Harmony, from heavenly Harmony
    This universal Frame began:
    From Harmony to Harmony
    Through all the Compass of the Notes it ran,
    The Diapason closing full in Man.
    John Dryden (1631–1700)
