Nature often lets us down when we most need her; let us turn to art.

Nothing arouses ambition so much in the heart as the trumpet-clang of another's fame.

Peacemakers not only live, they rule life.

Help others solve their problems; standing farther away, you can often see matters more clearly than they do. . . The greatest service you can render someone else is helping him or her help themselves.

Better mad with the rest of the world than wise alone.

Harness the imagination, for she is the whole of happiness.

Knowledge and courage take turns at greatness.
