“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.”
