Such is the state of life, that none are happy but by the anticipation of change: the change itself is nothing; when we have made it, the next wish is to change again.

If you hear a voice within you say “you cannot paint,” then by all means paint and that voice will be silenced.

Happiness depends upon ourselves.

Whatever you are, be a good one.

Success is not about seeking constant external rewards; it's about finding intrinsic motivation and experiencing fulfillment in the pursuit of your goals.
