Do nothing for effect. Do it for truth.

Art is not emotion. Art is the medium in which emotion is expressed.

The Constitution of the United States is not a mere lawyers' document; it is a vehicle of life, and its spirit is always the spirit of the age.

Without a strong cup to carry the emotion, it is only a curiosity. Great art can come to us only in strong cups. Without emotion, there is nothing to carry.

Life is denied by lack of attention, whether it be to cleaning windows or trying to write a masterpiece.

You should never listen to someone practice. That is their work and theirs alone.

Never forget that your days are blessed. You may know how to profit by them, or you may not, but they are blesses.
