No man ever reached to excellence in any one art or profession without having passed through the slow and painful process of study and preparation.

What has this unfeeling age of ours left untried, what wickedness has it shunned?

A picture is a poem without words

In going abroad we change the climate not our dispositions.

Despise pleasure; pleasure bought by pain in injurious.

Pleasure bought with pain does harm.

Time will bring to light whatever is hidden it will cover up and conceal what is now shining in splendor.
