More quotes by Yehudi Menuhin
Music creates order out of chaos.
Yehudi Menuhin
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
Music lives and breathes to tell us who we are and what we face. It is a path between ourselves and the infinite.
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
Homeopathy is the safest and more reliable approach to ailments and has withstood the assaults of established medical practice for over 100 years
Yehudi Menuhin
We are full of rhythms . . . our pulse, our gestures, our digestive tracts, the lunar and seasonal cycles.
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
Our life must have an aim, but we must also ensure that the direction we take is a good one.
Yehudi Menuhin
The violinist is that peculiarly human phenomenon distilled to a rare potency---half tiger,half poet.
Yehudi Menuhin
I still look to music to heal and bind I still think the musician can be a trusted object offering his fellow-man solace but also a reminder of human excellence.
Yehudi Menuhin
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.
Yehudi Menuhin
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
In all teaching there must be a fusion of authority as an adult providing a stable framework for the children in one's care, and humility as another human being ready to educate an equal who may turn out to be a superior.
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
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
Homeopathy is one of the few medical specialties which carries no penalties -- only benefits.
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
In reality, infinity is merely the distance to the heart of a stranger. Eternity is the moment of cognition.
Yehudi Menuhin
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.
Yehudi Menuhin
A dream is unrehearsed.
Yehudi Menuhin
