You use a glass mirror to see your face; you use works of art to see your soul.

You use a glass mirror to see your face; you use works of art to see your soul

The only service a friend can really render is to keep up your courage by holding up to you a mirror in which you can see a noble image of yourself.

It is no use to blame the looking glass if your face is awry.

Use your health, even to the point of wearing it out. That is what it is for. Spend all you have before you die; do not outlive yourself.

Without art, the crudeness of reality would make the world unbearable.
