“For a true artist, difficulties become opportunities and clouds become solid present.”
“No day passed that did not present an opportunity to become obsessed with a new area of concern.”
“The artist should fear to become the slave of detail. He should strive to express his thought and not the surface of it. What avails a storm cloud accurate in form and color if the storm is not therein?”
“Successful leaders see the opportunities in every difficulty rather than the difficulty in every opportunity”
“What is the difference between an obstacle and an opportunity? Our attitude toward it. Every opportunity has a difficulty, and every difficulty has an opportunity.”
“If a musician wants to become a fine artist, he must first become a finer person.”
