Life Is Not So Short But That

Painting Seems To Be To The Eye What Dancing Is To The Limbs. When That Has Educated The Frame To Self-possession, To Nimbleness,to Grace, The Steps Of The Dancing-master Are Better Forgotten; So Painting Teaches Me The Splendor Of Color And The Expression Of Form, And As I See Many Pictures And Higher Genius In The Art, I See The Boundless Opulence Of The Pencil, The Indifferency In Which The Artist Stands Free To Choose Out Of The Possible Forms.

Each Particle Is A Microcosm, And Faithfully Renders The Likeness Of The World.

The First Point Of Courtesy Must Always Be Truth.

Consistency Is The Bugbear That Frightens Little Minds.

Come Out Of The Azure. Love The Day. Do Not Leave The Sky Out Of Your Landscape.
