Art is the one place we all turn to for solace.

You can't lead the people if you don't love the people. You can't save the people, if you don't serve the people.

We suffer more often in imagination than in reality.

Practicing an art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow, for heaven's sake.

Often when you think you’re at the end of something, you’re at the beginning of something else.

The willingness to accept responsibility for one's own life is the source from which self-respect springs.

The great tragedy of life is not that men perish, but that they cease to love.

I can't give you a recipe for success, but I can give you a recipe for failure: try to please everybody.

The world is like a Mask dancing. If you want to see it well, you do not stand in one place.

The truth will set you free. But not until it is finished with you.

You will never get any more out of life than you expect.

If you need something from somebody, always give that person a way to hand it to you.
