You can think of a painter as a trio - the artist, his talent and his muse, the last two always on the lookout for a new brush man.

Among the things that you, and you alone, are the absolute and final judge of is whether or not you are a success.

I have never considered it my business to disabuse someone of a belief that makes life tolerable for them.

As you seek new opportunity, keep in mind that the sun does not usually reappear on the horizon where last seen.

Of course I doubt. I do not practice a certainty. I practice a faith.

As any artist can tell you, it is easier to reach perfection than to stop there.

Among life's regrets is all the time wasted being early for everything.
