"No better way is there to learn to love Nature than to understand Art. It dignifies every flower of the field. And, the boy who sees the thing of beauty which a bird on the wing becomes when transferred to wood or canvas will probably not throw the customary stone."

"The world is a stage and the play is badly cast."

"A man who does not think for himself does not think at all."

"With age comes wisdom, but sometimes age comes alone."
