The Principal Mark Of Genius Is Not

That First Concept Is Alway The Most Naturally And Best. The Mind Errs, The Emotion Never.

Art Was Not Created As A Way To Riches. Strive To Become A True Artist; All Else Will Take Care Of Itself.

The Flame That Is Naturally Clear Always Gives The Most Light And Heat. If I Could Blend My Talent For Poetry And Music Into One, The Light Would Burn Still Clearer, And I Might Go Far.

Only When The Form Grows Clear To You, Will The Spirit Become So Too.

Nature Best Teaches How To Pray, And How To Reverence All The Gifts The Almighty Has Given Us. She Is Like A Vast Outspread Handkerchief, Embroidered With God's Eternal Name, On Which We May Dry Alike Our Tears Of Sorrow And Of Joy; She Turns Weeping Into Ecstasy, And Fills Our Hearts With Speechless, Quiet Reverence And Resignation.
