Make your work to be in keeping with your purpose

Every now and then go away, have a little relaxation, for when you come back to your work your judgment will be surer. Go some distance away because then the work appears smaller and more of it can be taken in at a glance and a lack of harmony and proportion is more readily seen.

A beautiful body perishes, but a work of art dies not.

Where the spirit does not work with the hand, there is no art.

It is better to imitate ancient than modern work.

The human foot is a masterpiece of engineering and a work of art.
