The secret of life is to fall seven times and to get up eight times.

The present is the only time in which any duty can be done or any grace received.

There are things that are not sayable. That's why we have art.

Art is a spiritual function of man, which aims at freeing him from life's chaos.

It is so easy to give, so exquisitely rewarding.

Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our light.

To have courage for whatever comes in life — everything lies in that.

Every noble work is at first impossible.

Only one mountain can know the core of another mountain.

You can't shake hands with a clenched fist.

Not failure, but low aim, is the crime. In great attempts it is glorious even to fail.

Find the thing you do well and do it again and again for the rest of your life.
