Applaud friends, the comedy is over.
Beethoven can write music, thank God, but he can do nothing else on earth.
I have never thought of writing for reputation and honor. What I have in my heart must come out; that is the reason why I compose.
Music is a higher revelation than philosophy.
Never shall I forget the time I spent with you. Please continue to be my friend, as you will always find me yours.
No one should drive a hard bargain with an artist.
Recommend to your children virtue; that alone can make them happy, not gold.
The character of a people may be ruined by charity.
