“Gotta give him a friend. Like I always say, ‘Everyone needs a friend.”

Every day is a good day when you paint.

There’s nothing wrong with having a tree as a friend.

If I paint something, I don’t want to have to explain what it is.

I don’t know if anything in nature ever grows exactly the same, but they are always exactly as the way it should be, perfectly itself.

Everybody has dreams. You are living the American dream, what’s wrong with pushing to secure it for everyone?

I can’t think of anything more rewarding than being able to express yourself to others through painting.

We don’t make mistakes, just happy little accidents.

Didn’t you know you had that much power? You can move mountains. You can do anything.

Talent is a pursued interest. Anything that you’re willing to practice, you can do.

Just let go – and fall like a little waterfall.

Ever make mistakes in life? Let’s make them birds. Yeah, they’re birds now.

Painting will bring a lot of good thoughts to your heart.

Never think about the mistakes you made. Think about the mistakes you will make.

We want happy paintings. Happy paintings. If you want sad things, watch the news.

Exercising the imagination, experimenting with talents, being creative; these things, to me, are truly the windows to your soul.

Wash the brush, just beats the devil out of it.

Everyone may be called “comrade,” but some comrades have the power of life and death over other comrades.

True friends add peace to your soul.

Let’s get together and feel all right

Count your age by friends, not years. Count your life by smiles, not tears.

The man of knowledge must be able not only to love his enemies but also to hate his friends.

If I stayed angry at other people, I would miss finding friends among those I was angry with.

Wherever you have friends that’s your country, and wherever you receive love, that’s your home.

When friendships are real, they are not glass threads or frost work, but the solidest things we can know.
