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

Success is not about seeking perfection; it's about progress, growth, and continually striving to be better than you were yesterday.

To give ones self earnestly to the duties due to men, and, while respecting spiritual beings, to keep aloof from them, may be called wisdom

I'm mature enough to forgive you, but not dumb enough to trust you again.

The greatest power is often simple patience.

Life is very short and anxious for those who forget the past, neglect the present, and fear the future.

Get out of your own way.
