The art of getting rich consists not in industry, much less in saving, but in a better order, in timeliness, in being at the right spot.

There is no prosperity, trade, art, city, or great material wealth of any kind, but if you trace it home, you will find it rooted in a thought of some individual man. -

Each work of art excludes the world, concentrates attention on itself. For the time it is the only thing worth doing /to do just that; be it a sonnet, a statue, a landscape, an outline head of Caesar, or an oration. Presently we return to the sight of another that globes itself into a whole as did the first, for example, a beautiful garden; and nothing seems worth doing in life but laying out a garden.

This time, like all times, is a very good one, if we but know what to do with it.

The years teach much the days never know.

This time,like all times, is a good time, if we but know what to do with it.
