"You Learn by Living"

We can do no great thing; only small things, with great love.
Mother Teresa

The most wonderful of all things in life, I believe, is the discovery of another human being with whom one's relationship has a glowing depth, beauty, and joy as the years increase. This inner progressiveness of love between two human beings is a most marvelous thing, it cannot be found by looking for it or by passionately wishing for it. It is a sort of Divine accident.
Sir Hugh Walpoe

 

Happiness is good health and a bad memory.
Ingrid Bergman

When I am working on a problem I never think about beauty. I only think about how to solve the problem. But when I have finished, if the solution is not beautiful, I know it is wrong.
Buckminster Fuller (1895-1983)

Make everything as simple as possible, but not simpler.
Albert Einstein (1879-1955)

An image, a dance step, a song may function from time to time as entertainment, but the root and full practice of the arts lies in the recognition that art is power, an instrument of communion between the self and all that is important, all that is sacred.
(In reference to Indigenous American art.)
Peter London
"No More Secondhand Art"

Talent is always conscious of its own abundance and does not object to sharing.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

The best prize that life offers is the chance to work hard at work worth doing.
Theodore Roosevelt

It's easier to graduate than to learn.
Robert Half

I postpone death by living, by suffering, by error, by risking, by giving, by losing.
Anaïs Nin

If you judge someone, you have no time to love them.
Mother Teresa

In the end it all comes down to this: you have a choice (or more accurately a rolling tangle of choices) between giving your work your best shot and risking that it will not make you happy, or not giving it your best shot -- and thereby guaranteeing that it will not make you happy. It becomes a choice between certainty and uncertainty. And curiously, uncertainty is the comforting choice.
David Bayles & Ted Orland
"Art & Fear"
