Good Morning, on July 7 My thoughts go out to you, my Immortal Beloved I can only live wholly with you or not at all- Be calm my life, my all. Only by calm consideration of our existence can we achieve our purpose to live together. Oh continue to love me, never misjudge the most faithful heart of your beloved. Ever Thine Ever Mine Ever Yours

There are and always will be thousands of princes, but there is only one Beethoven!

I liked your opera. I think I will set it to music.

But what a humiliation for me when someone standing next to me heard a flute in the distance and I heard nothing, or someone standing next to me heard a shepherd singing and again I heard nothing. Such incidents drove me almost to despair; a little more of that and I would have ended my life - it was only my art that held me back.

Whoever tells a lie is not pure of heart, and such a person can not cook a clean soup.

Händel is the greatest and ablest of all composers; from him I can still learn.

Recommend to your children virtue; that alone can make them happy, not gold.
