“A picture is a poem without words.”

“It is not enough for poems to be beautiful; they must be affecting, and must lead the heart of the hearer as they will.”

“Life grants nothing to us mortals without hard work.”

“Without love and laughter there is no joy; live amid love and laughter.”

“Once a word has been allowed to escape, it cannot be recalled.”

“Finxerunt animi, raro et perpauca loquentis. (To action little, less to words inclinded.)”

“What you have not published, you can destroy. The word once sent forth can never be recalled.”
