The reward of a thing well done, is to have done it.
All men are in some degree impressed by the face of the world; some men even to delight. This love of beauty is taste. Others have the same love in such success that, not content with admiring, they seek to embody it in new forms. The creation of beauty is art.
Every man is entitled to be valued by his best moment.
We talk of choosing our friends, but friends are self-elected.
Where the banana grows man is sensual and cruel.
Be a gift and a benediction.
