“The painter who has no doubt about his own ability will attain very little.”

“I have been impressed with the urgency of doing.”

“All our knowledge is the offspring of our perceptions.”

“Shut not your doors to me proud libraries.”

“A fondness for reading, which, properly directed, must be an education in itself.”

“Every three or four years I pick a new subject. It may be Japanese art; it may be economics. Three years of study are by no means enough to master a subject but they are enough to understand it. SO for more than 60 years I have kept studying one subject at a time.”

“I am still a learner, not a teacher, feeding somewhat omnivorously, browsing both stalk & leaves”

“Be like the sun for grace and mercy. Be like the night to cover others' faults. Be like running water for generosity. Be like death for rage and anger. Be like the Earth for modesty. Appear as you are. Be as you appear.”

“Lord Bacon told Sir Edward Coke when he was boasting, The less you speak of your greatness, the more shall I think of it.”
