“HARP music is really music from Heaven...That is why it sounds so sweet. If you stop and think about it---a PIANO is really a HARP turned sideways, with pedals. When a pianist sits down and begins to play---the piano sends forth its own unique HARP sounds......For one who is truly trained with excellence, it is as though the two HARPS link up together, and a little taste of Heaven's music comes forth to bring the sweetness that can be found in no other instruments here on earth.”

“Modern civilization depends on science … James Smithson was well aware that knowledge should not be viewed as existing in isolated parts, but as a whole, each portion of which throws light on all the other, and that the tendency of all is to improve the human mind, and give it new sources of power and enjoyment … narrow minds think nothing of importance but their own favorite pursuit, but liberal views exclude no branch of science or literature, for they all contribute to sweeten, to adorn, and to embellish life … science is the pursuit above all which impresses us with the capacity of man for intellectual and moral progress and awakens the human intellect to aspiration for a higher condition of humanity. [Joseph Henry was the first Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, named after its benefactor, James Smithson.]”
