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
I can only think of music as something inherent in every human being - a birthright. Music coordinates mind, body and spirit.
Yehudi Menuhin
Image
It is a technique ideally suited to prevent physical and mental illness and to protect the body generally, developing an inevitable sense of self-reliance and assurance.
Yehudi Menuhin
Image
Do we not find freedom along the guiding lines of discipline?

Everyone should in some way be creative, irrespective of the quality of that which he creates.
Yehudi Menuhin
Image
We are full of rhythms . . . our pulse, our gestures, our digestive tracts, the lunar and seasonal cycles.
Yehudi Menuhin
Image
The violinist is that peculiarly human phenomenon distilled to a rare potency---half tiger,half poet.
Yehudi Menuhin
Image
A way of life which excludes the realm of the unknown and the mysterious is simply not in harmony with life itself.
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.
