The Perfection Of Art Is To Conceal

Give Me The Boy Who Rouses When He Is Praised, Who Profits When He Is Encouraged And Who Cries When He Is Defeated. Such A Boy Will Be Fired By Ambition; He Will Be Stung By Reproach, And Animated By Preference; Never Shall I Apprehend Any Bad Consequences From Idleness In Such A Boy.

For The Mind Is All The Easier To Teach Before It Is Set.

For All The Best Teachers Pride Themselves On Having A Large Number Of Pupils And Think Themselves Worthy Of A Bigger Audience.

The Perfection Of Art Is To Conceal Art.

Let Us Never Adopt The Maxim, Rather Lose Our Friend Than Our Jest.
