It is necessary to keep one's compass in one's eyes and not in the hand, for the hands execute, but the eye judges.
Souls will never ascend to Heaven until the sight of beauty lifts them there.
There is no greater harm than that of time wasted.
A man paints with his brains and not with his hands.
It is well with me only when I have a chisel in my hand.
With few words I shall make thee understand my soul.
