Speak but one word to me.

The true secret of happiness lies in taking a genuine interest in the daily details of life.

Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful.

The true secret of happiness lies in taking a genuine interest in all the details of daily life.

Art made by the people for the people, as a joy to the maker and the user.

I am going your way, so let us go hand in hand. You help me and I'll help you. We shall not be here very long ... so let us help one another while we may.

I do not want art for a few any more than education for a few, or freedom for a few.

There is no excuse for doing anything which is not strikingly beautiful.

The past is not dead, it is living in us, and will be alive in the future which we are now helping to make.

History has remembered the kings and warriors, because they destroyed; art has remembered the people, because they created.

No one can make us feel anything. We always have the authority over how we choose to feel about something. Never give anyone that much power over yourself.

There has never been a boy painter, nor can there be. The art requires a long apprenticeship, being mechanical, as well as intellectual.

The language of the face is not taught by the schools; it is intuitive, and to the observant is always legible.

I know there are millions of people praying for me, and I strongly believe in prayers.

I think every person and place is interesting, and there's an interesting story behind every door.
