The more I think about it, the more I realize there is nothing more artistic than to love others.
Love many things, for therein lies the true strength, and whosoever loves much performs much, and can accomplish much, and what is done in love is done well.
Love always brings difficulties, that is true, but the good side of it is that it gives energy.
The fishermen know that the sea is dangerous and the storm terrible, but they have never found these dangers sufficient reason for remaining ashore.
Love is eternal — the aspect may change, but not the essence. There is the same difference in a person before and after he is in love as there is in an unlighted lamp and one that is burning. The lamp was there and was a good lamp, but now it is shedding light too, and that is its real function. And love makes one calmer about many things, and that way, one is more fit for one’s work.
Vincent Willem van Gogh
The heart of man is very much like the sea, it has its storms, it has its tides and in its depths it has its pearls too
For the great doesn’t happen through impulse alone, and is a succession of little things that are brought together.
Great things are not done by impulse, but by a series of small things brought together.
Don’t lose heart if it’s very difficult at times, everything will come out all right and nobody can in the beginning do as he wishes.
