Harmony Quote by Tony Plummer
““Without harmony, there would be chaos and destruction, and (except for very briefly, perhaps) there would be no existence. Ancient authorities saw harmony as being a result of proportion, so that movement in one area would be responded to by a movement in another area: the parts would adjust, and the whole would reflect this adjustment.””
