Beethoven Quotes

I hope you find value in these encouraging quotes about Beethoven.

of heaven and earth will pause to say,

Because I've been to the mountaintop.
And I don't mind. Like any man,
I would like to live a long life.
Longevity has its place.
But I'm not concerned about that now.
I just want to do God's will.
And He's allowed me to go up to the mountain.

And I've seen the promised land.
I may not get there with you.

as a people, will get to the promised land.
