The Great Obstacle To Progress

A Man Cannot Paint Portraits Till He Has Seen Faces.

No Work Deserves To Be Criticized That Has Not Much In It That Deserves To Be Applauded.

Activity And Sadness Are Incompatible.

There Are None So Low But They Have Their Triumphs. Small Successes Suffice For Small Souls.

What Is Taken From The Fortune, Also, May Haply Be So Much Lifted From The Soul. The Greatness Of A Loss, As The Proverb Suggests, Is Determinable, Not So Much By What We Have Lost, As By What We Have Left.
