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

Don’t forget to make all these little things individuals – all of them special in their own way.

What can be painted can be punished.

There’s nothing in the world that breeds success like success.

Remember how free clouds are. They just lay around in the sky all day long.

The secret to doing anything is believing that you can do it. Anything that you believe you can do strong enough, you can do. Anything. As long as you believe.

You have to allow the paint to break to make it beautiful.

I guess I’m a little weird. I like to talk to trees and animals. That’s okay though; I have more fun than most people.

You too can paint almighty pictures.

I started painting as a hobby when I was little. I didn’t know I had any talent. I believe talent is just a pursued interest. Anybody can do what I do.

However you think it should be, that’s exactly how it should be.

People might look at you a bit funny, but it’s okay. Artists are allowed to be a bit different.

We have no limits to our world. We’re only limited by our imagination.

Trees don’t grow even, they don’t grow straight just however it makes them happy.

It’s the imperfections that make something beautiful, that’s what makes it different and unique from everything else.

It’s so important to do something every day that will make you happy.

You need the dark in order to show the light.

It takes a great deal of bravery to stand up to our enemies, but just as much to stand up to our friends.

It is easy to love your friend, but sometimes the hardest lesson to learn is to love your enemy.

A good friend who points out mistakes and imperfections and rebukes evil is to be respected as if he reveals the secret of some hidden treasure.

Nothing influences people more than is commendation from a trusted friend.

But friendship is precious, not only in the shade but in the sunshine of life; & thanks to a benevolent arrangement of things, the greater part of life is sunshine. I will recur for proof to the days we have lately passed. On these indeed the sun shone brightly.

We live, in fact, in a world starved for solitude, silence, and private: and therefore starved for meditation and true friendship.

The number one reason people fail in life is because they listen to their friends, family, and neighbors.

An insincere and evil friend is more to be feared than a wild beast; a wild beast may wound your body, but an evil friend will wound your mind.
