Ludwig van Beethoven quotes - page 3

Never misjudge the most faithful heart of your beloved. (Ludwig van Beethoven)

Said on his deathbed, 1827, as cited from the book Last Words.

Ludwig van Beethoven

Not "brook" [in German: Bach], but "sea" should he [Johann Sebastian Bach] be called because of his infinite, inexhaustible richness in tone combinations and harmonies.

Ludwig van Beethoven

I will take fate by the throat; it will never bend me completely to its will.

Ludwig van Beethoven

Plaudite, amici, comedia finita est. (Applaud, my friends, the comedy is over.)

Ludwig van Beethoven

The true artist is not proud: he unfortunately sees that art has no limits; he feels darkly how far he is from the goal, and though he may be admired by others, he is sad not to have reached that point to which his better genius only appears as a distant, guiding sun.

Ludwig van Beethoven

Recommend virtue to your children; it alone, not money, can make them happy. I speak from experience.

Ludwig van Beethoven

Recommend virtue to your children, that alone - not wealth - can give happiness. It upholds in adversity and the thought of it and my art prevents me from putting an end to my life.
