Self-esteem is a good thing, but not when you carry a pedestal under your arm ready for instant use. The common people listen to themselves gladly. I am not sure but that sympathy is love's own self, vitalized by some divine actinic ray. The way to live the Ideal Life is to make life Ideal for someone else. The way to begin living the Ideal Life is to begin.
Art is only a point of view.
Abolish fear and every man and woman is an orator and an artist. Expression is that mode of creation by which we coin things out of our hearts. Minimize friction and create harmony. You can get friction for nothing, but harmony costs courtesy and self-control. The graveyards are full of people the world could not do without.
