More quotes by Yanni
No matter what happens in life, never lose sight of who you are.
Yanni
Being happy with less is what makes a great human being, not a big house with marble floors, or everyone knowing who you are.

We need to learn how to love each other. If we cannot do that, then we need to learn to respect one another. If we can't manage to do that, then we must learn to tolerate each other.

Yanni
In the English language, I can love my car, or my house, or my daughter, or traveling, but in Greek and how I grew up, love is described with different words.
Yanni
When it comes down to music, I have no balance. I am 100 percent. It is like full throttle. Five hundred miles an hour.
Yanni
Perhaps one of the most important lessons that I continue to have reinforced is to always have faith and believe in yourself. To never lose sight of who you are and to know yourself.
Yanni
I think that love is very important and exists in many forms for all of us.
Yanni
If you are a professional, the speed with which you react to a potential problem separates the men from the boys.
Yanni
In Greek, we do not use just one word for love. We have many words that are specific to each type of love.
Yanni
Sometimes we get caught up in our troubles and our problems and we let life slip away, but life is precious, all of life, and one must try to take in as much of it as possible.
Yanni
We need to learn to get along with each other and learn how to help one another.
