Art is in itself noble; that is why the artist has no fear of what is common. This, indeed, is already ennobled when he takes it up.

He who cannot love must learn to flatter.

He is the happiest man who can see the connection between the end and the beginning of life.

Enjoy when you can, and endure when you must.

Rash combat oft immortalizes man; if he should fall, he is renowned in song; but after-ages reckon not the ceaseless tears which the forsaken woman sheds. Poets tell us not of the many nights consumed in weeping, or of the dreary days wherein her anguished soul vainly yearns to call her loved one back.

The rainbow mirrors human aims and action. Think, and more clearly wilt thou grasp it, seeing Life is but light in many-hued reflection.

What is not started today is never finished tomorrow.
