The true artist can only labor con amore.
Adversity makes men, and prosperity makes monsters.
To die is nothing; but it is terrible not to live.
Change your opinions, keep to your principles; change your leaves, keep intact your roots.
A saint addicted to excessive self-abnegation is a dangerous associate; he may infect you with poverty, and a stiffening of those joints which are needed for advancement-in a word, with more renunciation than you care for-and so you flee the contagion.
Go out in the world and work like money doesn't matter, sing as if no one is listening, love as if you have never been hurt, and dance as if no one is watching.
