More quotes by Yehudi Menuhin
It is perhaps life's greatest accomplishment to live to old age, maintaining one's wits, one's sense of humor, one's health, and one's charm.
Yehudi Menuhin
I would hate to think I am not an amature. An amateur is one who loves what he is doing. Very often, I'm afraid, the professional hates what he is doing. So, I'd rather be an amateur.
Yehudi Menuhin
A way of life which excludes the realm of the unknown and the mysterious is simply not in harmony with life itself.
Yehudi Menuhin

Yehudi Menuhin
To be an outstanding musician, you have to be very attentive to the smallest detail and willing to have infinite patience in the pursuit of your ideal. You require absolute control and professionalism.

Yehudi Menuhin
It is music that welds spiritual and sensual, that can convey ecstasy free of guilt, faith without dogma, love as homage, and a person at home with nature and the infinite.
Yehudi Menuhin
The ultimate aim in life should be to fulfill to the utmost all that within our ability and to share that which is good and beautiful.
Yehudi Menuhin
Searching and the route we take are more important than making a find.
Yehudi Menuhin

We embark unhesitatingly on the path, in a direction that is absolutely right and urgent, supported by everyone, in the knowledge that this path is but a learning process
Yehudi Menuhin
To play great music, you must keep your eyes on a distant star.
Yehudi Menuhin
If I wanted to play the violin, I had to work. Because anything that one wants to do really, and one loves doing, one must do everyday. It should be as easy to the artist and as natural as flying is to a bird. And you can’t imagine a bird saying well, I’m tired today, I’m not going to fly!
Yehudi Menuhin
Our life must have an aim, but we must also ensure that the direction we take is a good one.
Yehudi Menuhin
Everyone should in some way be creative, irrespective of the quality of that which he creates.
