Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it

A woman whose smile is open and whose expression is glad has a kind of beauty no matter what she wears

A thing of beauty is a joy forever: its loveliness increases; it will never pass into nothingness

Art is the most intense mode of individualism that the world has known

This world is but a canvas to our imagination.

A man paints with his brains and not with his hands.

Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time

An artist cannot fail; it is a success to be one.

No great artist ever sees things as they really are. If he did, he would cease to be an artist.

A writer should write with his eyes and a painter paint with his ears.

Art is the proper task of life.

A picture is worth a thousand words

A work of art is the unique result of a unique temperament.

A guilty conscience needs to confess. A work of art is a confession.

The essence of all beautiful art, all great art, is gratitude

The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance

An artist is always alone - if he is an artist. No, what the artist needs is loneliness.

If you hear a voice within you say 'you cannot paint,' then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced

A picture is a poem without words.

A good painting to me has always been like a friend. It keeps me company, comforts and inspires.

Art is a step from what is obvious and well-known toward what is arcane and concealed.

In art, the hand can never execute anything higher than the heart can imagine.

All diseases run into one, old age

As I approve of a youth that has something of the old man in him, so I am no less pleased with an old man that has something of the youth. He that follows this rule may be old in body, but can never be so in mind

Age is not a particularly interesting subject. Anyone can get old. All you have to do is live long enough

 

 

I don't feel old. I don't feel anything till noon. That's when it's time for my nap

A man growing old becomes a child again.

As I grow older, I pay less attention to what men say. I just watch what they do

After thirty, a body has a mind of its own

Wrinkles should merely indicate where smiles have been

 

 

Age considers; youth ventures.

 

 

Advice in old age is foolish; for what can be more absurd than to increase our provisions for the road the nearer we approach to our journey's end.

None are so old as those who have outlived enthusiasm.

Old age, believe me, is a good and pleasant thing. It is true you are gently shouldered off the stage, but then you are given such a comfortable front stall as spectator

 

How incessant and great are the ills with which a prolonged old age is replete

Old age, believe me, is a good and pleasant thing. It is true you are gently shouldered off the stage, but then you are given such a comfortable front stall as spectator

Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter.

Wrinkles should merely indicate where smiles have been
