Instead of spending money, I earned it.

I never liked to work, I mean manual work.

The noblest art is that of making others happy

The orthodox faith painted God as a revengeful being, and yet people talk about loving such a being.

There is no greater picture than that of 10,000 smiling children. No brighter music than their clear-ringing laughter. That I, with my small amusements, have created such precious art is my life's proudest achievement.

I am prouder of my title 'The Children's Friend' than if I were to be called 'The King of the World'.

Without publicity a terrible thing happens: nothing.
