Character

It has been my experience that folks who have no vices have very few virtues

I do not regard a broker as a member of the human race

Every artist dips his brush in his own soul, and paints his own nature into his pictures.

True art is characterized by an irresistible urge in the creative artist.

Every man has his follies - and often they are the most interesting thing he has got.

Be regular and orderly in your life, so that you may be violent and original in your work.

Plenty of people wish to become devout, but no one wishes to be humble

You can only be as good as you dare to be bad.

There are in every man, at every hour, two simultaneous postulations, one towards God, the other towards Satan

I am swimming in dishonor like a fish in water

Perhaps it is impossible for a person who does no good to do no harm

It is best to be yourself, imperial, plain and true

A man of the world must seem to be what he wishes to be thought

No one should part with their individuality and become that of another

How easy to be amiable in the midst of happiness and success.

Bigotry may be roughly defined as the anger of men who have no opinions

Angels can fly because they take themselves lightly; devils fall because of their gravity

My "fear" is my substance, and probably the best part of me

And help us, this and every day, to live more nearly as we pray

Borrow trouble for yourself, if that's your nature, but don't lend it to your neighbours.
