Music creates order out of chaos.
Yehudi Menuhin
Image
Music creates order out of chaos: for rhythm imposes unanimity upon the divergent, melody imposes continuity upon the disjointed, and harmony imposes compatibility upon the incongruous.
Yehudi Menuhin
Image
Searching and the route we take are more important than making a find.
Yehudi Menuhin
Image
Life is not a finished product, it is only what we make of it, and if we make nothing of it, someone else will, and we will be his slave.
Yehudi Menuhin
Image
A dream is unrehearsed.
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
Image
Music is a therapy.It is a communication far more powerful than words, far more immediate, far more efficient.

Why is compassion not part of our established curriculum, an inherent part of our education? Compassion, awe, wonder, curiosity, exaltation, humility - these are the very foundation of any real civilization, no longer the prerogatives, the preserves of any one church, but belonging to everyone, every child in every home, in every school.

We are living in a world where the individual must learn to command the raw materials of expression. He must not be dependent all the time on the ready-made, the finished product. It's the transferring, the changing of the raw into what is the expression of your own self – the whole joy and satisfaction and frustration of life is built into this.

Image
In reality, infinity is merely the distance to the heart of a stranger. Eternity is the moment of cognition.
Yehudi Menuhin
Image
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
Image
To play great music, you must keep your eyes on a distant star.
Yehudi Menuhin
Image
The violinist must possess the poets gift of piercing the protective hide which grows on propagandists, stockbrokers and slave traders, to penetrate the deeper truth which lies within.
Yehudi Menuhin
Image
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
Image
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.

Do we not find freedom along the guiding lines of discipline?
