People love to be nice, but you must give them the chance.

One must from time to time attempt things that are beyond one's capacity.

To my mind, a picture should be something pleasant, cheerful, and pretty, yes pretty! There are too many unpleasant things in life as it is without creating still more of them.

Everybody has their reasons.

Nothing costs so little, goes so far, and accomplishes so much as a single act of merciful service.

With a limited palette, the older painters could do just as well as today what they did was sounder.

There are two indices of genuine art: it is inimitable and it is ineffable.
