“Necessity
is the mistress and guardian of nature.”
“The
painter who draws by practice and judgment of the eye without the use of
reason, is like the mirror that reproduces within itself all the objects which
are set opposite to it without knowledge of the same.”
“He who
does not value life does not deserve it.”
“Simplicity
is the ultimate sophistication.”
“Iron rusts
from disuse, stagnant water loses its purity and in cold weather becomes
frozen; even so does inaction sap the vigor of the mind.”
“Obstacles
cannot bend me. Every obstacle yields to effort.”
“One ought
not to desire the impossible.”
