Doing little things well is a step toward doing big things better.

I feel a certain calm. There is safety in the midst of danger. What would life be if we had no courage to attempt anything?

The only thing to do is to go one's own way, to try one's best, to make the thing live.

How can I be useful, of what service can I be? There is something inside me, what can it be?

I can't change the fact that my paintings don't sell. But the time will come when people will recognize that they are worth more than the value of the paints used in the picture.

Whatever plan one makes, there is a hidden difficulty somewhere.

Seek only light and freedom and do not immerse yourself too deeply in the worldly mire.
