Keep your face always toward the sunshine - and shadows will fall behind you.

I no doubt deserved my enemies, but I don't believe I deserved my friends.

The art of art, the glory of expression and the sunshine of the light of letters, is simplicity.

I exist as I am, that is enough.

A free-loader is a confirmed guest. He is the man who is always willing to come to dinner.

It's the soul's duty to be loyal to its own desires. It must abandon itself to its master passion.
