I am always doing what I cannot do yet, in order to learn how to do it.
One must work and dare if one really wants to live.
Success is sometimes the outcome of a whole string of failures
Many people seem to think it foolish, even superstitious, to believe that the world could still change for the better. And it is true that in winter it is sometimes so bitingly cold that one is tempted to say, ‘What do I care if there is a summer; its warmth is no help to me now.’ Yes, evil often seems to surpass good. But then, in spite of us, and without our permission, there comes at last an end to the bitter frosts. One morning the wind turns, and there is a thaw. And so I must still have hope.
Great things are not done by impulse, but by a series of small things brought together.
The fishermen know that the sea is dangerous and the storm terrible, but they have never found these dangers sufficient reason for remaining ashore.
I feel that there is nothing more truly artistic than to love people.
