Our attitude towards others determines their attitude towards us.
Teachers believe they have a gift for giving it drives them with the same irrepressible drive that drives others to create a work of art or a market or a building.
Egotism: The art of seeing in yourself what others cannot see.
Art is not what you see but what you make others see.
Criticism is the art of appraising others at one's own value.
What I've discovered is that in art as in music there's a lot of truth-and then there's a lie. The artist is essentially creating his work to make this lie a truth but he slides it in amongst all the others. The tiny little lie is the moment I live for my moment. It's the moment that the audience falls in love.
Ethics is in origin the art of recommending to others the sacrifices required for cooperation with oneself.
Be true to yourself help others make each day your masterpiece make friendship a fine art drink deeply from good books - especially the Bible build a shelter against a rainy day give thanks for your blessings and pray for guidance every day.
Even in literature and art no man who bothers about originality will ever be original: whereas if you simply try to tell the truth (without caring twopence how often it has been told before) you will nine times out of ten become original without ever having noticed it.
When I make art I think about its ability to connect with others to bring them into the process.
