More quotes by Yehudi Menuhin
There are no rules in the service of God, and this itself is no rule.
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
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
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
Everyone should in some way be creative, irrespective of the quality of that which he creates.
Yehudi Menuhin
Music is a therapy.It is a communication far more powerful than words, far more immediate, far more efficient.
Yehudi Menuhin
Homeopathy is one of the few medical specialties which carries no penalties -- only benefits.
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
Mozart resolved his emotions on a level that transformed them into moods uncontaminated by mortal anguish, enabling him to express the angelic anguish that is so peculiarly his own.
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
In reality, infinity is merely the distance to the heart of a stranger. Eternity is the moment of cognition.
Yehudi Menuhin
To play great music, you must keep your eyes on a distant star.
Yehudi Menuhin
We are full of rhythms . . . our pulse, our gestures, our digestive tracts, the lunar and seasonal cycles.
Yehudi Menuhin
Our life must have an aim, but we must also ensure that the direction we take is a good one.
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
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
Peace may sound simple - one beautiful word - but it requires everything we have, every quality, every strength, every dream, every high ideal.
Yehudi Menuhin
The practice of yoga induces a primary sense of measure and proportion. Reduced to our own body, our first instrument, we learn to play it, drawing from it maximum resonance and harmony.
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
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.
