Genius has never been accepted without a measure of condonement.
That which achieves its effect by accident is not art.
Life is the fire that burns and the sun that gives light. Life is the wind and the rain and the thunder in the sky. Life is matter and is earth, what is and what is not, and what beyond is in Eternity.
The profit on a good action is to have done it.
Fire tests gold, suffering tests brave men.
He has committed the crime who profits by it.
