A good painting to me has always been like a friend. It keeps me company, comforts and inspires.

Treat a man as he is, he will remain so. Treat a man the way he can be and ought to be, and he will become as he can be and should be.

Golf is a good walk spoiled.

To be in hell is to drift; to be in heaven is to steer.

We could never learn to be brave and patient if there were only joy in the world.

Friendship with oneself is all-important because without it one cannot be friends with anyone else in the world.

Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see a shadow.
