LESS bad taste there would be, were there fewer pictures.
E’EN tho’air-castles are unreal we are apt to stumble in their ruins.
REMARKABLE, indeed, that some artists will always plant on other’s
ground, rather than reap on their own.
NOT only do drops of sweat, but tears of pain, glisten on the laurel-wreath.
THE more sublime the mood of nature the more simple and reserved must
be the art that is to interpret it.
HE that would live in peace and at ease must not speak all he knows nor
iudge all he sees.—Benjamin Franklin.
THERE'S small revenge in words, but words may be greatly revenged.
HERE comes the critic with his flood of words and his drop of reason.
THE Sun never repents of the good he does, nor does he even demand a
recompense.
PHOTOGRAPHING merely to photograph is like talking merely to
talk.—After Goethe.
THE laurel is a bitter leaf to him that seeks and to him that possesses it.—
Emanuel Geibel.
ASK everything of Genius — but consequence.
ART is the up-building of the soul against death.—W. v. Selvez.
ART gives youth to the aged and age to the youth.
ART can only embellish and permeate life when life does embellish and
permeate art.
THERE are some people who dislike caricatures—and yet these same
will be photographed.

should love and value it. Why can one not wish for this love and valuation
in others — Is this vanity ?
THE beginning of a thing is difficult, the finish more so.
HALF a success is also half a failure.
