The joy which is caused by truth and noble thoughts shows itself in the words by which they are expressed.
We live in an age in which superfluous ideas abound and essential ideas are lacking.
We do not do well except when we know where the best is and when we are assured that we have touched it and hold its power within us.
Beautiful works do not intoxicate, but they enchant.
Drawing is speaking to the eye; talking is painting to the ear.
Proverbs may be said to be the abridgment of wisdom.
