You had brought me something higher, something of which all art is but a reflection.

Follow effective action with quiet reflection. From the quiet reflection will come even more effective action.

Action and faith enslave thought, both of them in order not to be troubled or inconvenienced by reflection, criticism and doubt.

The real man smiles in trouble, gathers strength from distress, and grows brave by reflection.

The real man smiles in trouble, gathers strength from distress, and grows brave by reflection.

Learning without reflection is a waste. Reflection without learning is dangerous.

Art calls for complete mastery of techniques, developed by reflection within the soul.
