“A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds.”

Write it on your heart that every day is the best day in the year.

Life is a series of surprises and would not be worth taking or keeping if it were not.

Be not the slave of your own past – plunge into the sublime seas, dive deep, and swim far, so you shall come back with new self-respect, with new power, and with an advanced experience that shall explain and overlook the old.

The invariable mark of wisdom is to see the miraculous in the common.

For everything you have missed, you have gained something else, and for everything you gain, you lose something else.

There is almost nothing you can say that holds up as a generalization, because it depends on too many factors: size, modulation, the rest of the field, a certain consistency that color has with forms, and the statement you’re trying to make.
