To See a World in a Grain of Sand And a Heaven in a Wild Flower, Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand And Eternity in an hour.

Accept whatever comes to you woven in the pattern of your destiny, for what could more aptly fit your needs?

Lend yourself to others, but give yourself to yourself.

Never tell all you know-not even to the person you know best.

For me, I'm focused on what I want to do. I know what I need to do to be a champion, so I'm working on it.

The starting point of all achievement is desire.

I have always found that mercy bears richer fruits than strict justice.

Don?t only practice your art, but force your way into its secrets, for it and knowledge can raise men to the divine.

When I'm inspired, I get excited because I can't wait to see what I'll come up with next.

Listen to many, speak to a few.

Sincerity and truth are the basis of every virtue.

You'll never get ahead of anyone as long as you try to get even with him.

The great art of life is sensation, to feel that we exist, even in pain.

Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft!

Waiting hurts. Forgetting hurts. But not knowing which decision to take is the worst of suffering

For every dark night, there's a brighter day

A man's work is nothing but this slow trek to rediscover, through the detours of art, those two or three great and simple images in whose presence his heart first opened.

A painter should begin every canvas with a wash of black, because all things in nature are dark except where exposed by the light.

Don't get set into one form, adapt it and build your own, and let it grow, be like water.

United we stand; divided we fall.

I would prefer even to fail with honor than win by cheating.
