Happy Birthday Georg Friedrich Händel!

I should be sorry if I only entertained them. I wished to make them better.

Man muss lernen, was zu lernen ist, 
und dann seinen eigenen Weg gehen. 

Genuine tragedy is a case not of right against wrong but of right against right — two equally justified ethical principles embodied in people of unchangeable will.

Mag schwinden das Leben, mag nahen der Tod,Wir können nicht sinken, denn Helfer ist Gott.

I should be sorry if I have only succeeded in entertaining them; I wished to make them better.

Every Englishman believes that Handel now occupies an important position in heaven. If so, le bon Dieu must feel toward him very much as Louis Treize felt toward Richelieu.

What a wonderful thing it is to be sure of one’s faith! How wonderful to be a member of the evangelical church, which preaches the free grace of God through Christ as the hope of sinners! If we were to rely on our works–my God, what would become of us?

You have taken far too much trouble over your opera. Here in England that is mere waste of time. What the English like is something that they can beat time to, something that hits them straight on the drum of the ear.

It is much too good for them,they don’t know what to do with it.
