To be good is to be in harmony with oneself. Discord is to be forced to be in harmony with others.

Oscar Wilde

All Nature is but art, unknown to thee All chance, direction, which thou canst not see; All discord, harmony not understood; All partial evil, universal good.

Alexander Pope

When our actions create discord in another person, we, ourselves, in this lifetime or another, will feel that discord. Likewise, if our actions create harmony and empowerment in another, we also come to feel that harmony and empowerment.

Gary Zukav

From discord, find Harmony.

Albert Einstein

A harmonized mind produces harmony in this world of seeming discord.

Paramahansa Yogananda

Every discord is a harmony not understood. Happiness is a disease, and pain, a medicine.

Narayanananda Swami.

I cannot copy nature in a servile way; I am forced to interpret nature and submit it to the spirit of the picture. From the relationship I have found in all the tones there must result a living harmony of colors, a harmony analogous to that of a musical composition.

Henri Matisse

For harmony makes small states great, while discord undermines the mightiest empires.

Sallust

From harmony, from heavenly harmony, This universal frame began: When nature underneath a heap Of jarring atoms lay, And could not heave her head, The tuneful voice was heard from high, 'Arise, ye more than dead!' Then cold, and hot, and moist, and dry, In order to their stations leap, And Music's power obey. 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.
