Thought is the blossom; language the bud; action the fruit behind it

Do not be too timid and squeamish about your actions. All life is an experience

No change of circumstances can repair a defect of character

We change, whether we like it or not

For everything you have missed, you have gained something else, and for everything you gain, you lose something else

The beautiful rests on the foundations of the necessary.

Then beauty is its own excuse for being.

Beauty is the mark God sets on virtue. Every natural action is graceful every heroic act is also decent. and causes the place and the bystanders to shine.

When a man is pushed, tormented, defeated, he has a chance to learn something

Beauty without grace is the hook without the bait.
