At first, art imitates life. Then life imitates
art. Then life will find its very existence from the arts. |

a man's laugh before you know anything of him, you may confidently say that he
is a good man. |

Power is given only to those who dare to lower
themselves and pick it up. Only one thing matters, one thing; to be able to
dare! |

Man is unhappy because he
doesn't know he's happy. It's
only that. That's all, that's
all! If anyone finds out he'll
become happy at once, that
minute... Man is fond of
counting his troubles, but he
does not count his joys. If he
counted them up as he ought to,
he would see that every lot has
enough happiness provided for
it.

It's the great mystery of human life that old
grief passes gradually into quiet tender joy. |
