“ All art is but dirtying the paper delicately. ”
It is better to lose your pride with someone you love rather than to lose that someone you love with your useless pride.
~ John Ruskin
He who has truth at his heart need never fear the want of persuasion on his tongue.
To speak and act truth with constancy and precision is nearly as difficult, and perhaps as meretorious, as to speak it under intimidation or penalty
For, truly, the man who does not know when to die, does not know how to live.
