Love of beauty is taste. The creation of beauty is art.
Beauty is the virtue of the body as virtue is the beauty of the soul.
When nature has work to be done, she creates a genius to do it.
The greatest homage we can pay truth is to use it.
For every minute you are angry you lose sixty seconds of happiness.
God offers to every mind its choice between truth and repose.
This time, like all times, is a very good one, if we but know what to do with it.
Adopt the pace of nature: her secret is patience.
Little minds have little worries; big minds have no time for worries.
A hero is no braver than an ordinary man, but he is brave five minutes longer.
