“Art is the child of nature in whom we trace the features of the mothers face.”

“If thou art worn and hard beset,With sorrows, that thou wouldst forget;If thou wouldst read a lesson, that will keepThy heart from fainting and thy soul from sleep,Go to the woods and hills! No tearsDim the sweet look that Nature wears.”

“Resolve, and thou art free.”

“Art is long, and Time is fleeting.”

“A torn jacket is soon mended, but hard words bruise the heart of a child.”

“For his heart was in his work, and the heart giveth grace unto every art.”

“In the elder days of Art,Builders wrought with greatest careEach minute and unseen part;For the Gods are everywhere”
