Drawing is the root of everything.

What molting time is to birds, so adversity or misfortune is ... for us humans.

The more ugly, old, nasty, ill, and poor I become the more I want to get my own back by producing vibrant, well-arranged, radiant colour.

In spite of everything, I shall rise again

When we are working at a difficult task and strive after a good thing, we are fighting a righteous battle, the direct reward of which is that we are kept from much evil.

But for one's health as you say, it is very necessary to work in the garden and see the flowers growing.

Close friends are truly life's treasures. Sometimes they know us better than we know ourselves. With gentle honesty, they are there to guide and support us, to share our laughter and our tears. Their presence reminds us that we are never really alone.
