Art necessarily presupposes knowledge. Art is man's expression of his joy in labor. No one can arrive from being talented alone. The great are only great because we are on our knees. The greatest strength and wealth is self-control.
Truth is the daughter of time.
We know what we are, but know not what we may be. Self-command is not only itself a great virtue, but from it all the other virtues seem to derive their principle luster. Imagination without skill gives us modern art. An individual is the ned product of the decsions he has made. Labor conquers everything.
