“Out of difficulties grow miracles”

“He whose face gives no light, shall never become a star.”

“Every great mistake has a halfway moment, a split second when it can be recalled and perhaps remedied”

“For life, with all its yields of joy and woe, and hope and fear, believe the aged friend, is just a chance o' the prize of learning love”

“Better to have loved a short man than never to have loved a tall”

“An artist will betray himself by some sort of sincerity”
