The darkest places in hell are reserved for those who maintain their neutrality in times of moral crisis.
Heat cannot be separated from fire, or beauty from The Eternal.
Consider your origins: you were not made to live as brutes, but to follow virtue and knowledge.
The sad souls of those who lived without blame and without praise.
All hope abandon, ye who enter here!
Art, as far as it is able, follows nature, as a pupil imitates his master thus your art must be, as it were, God's grandchild.
The secret of getting things done is to act!
The customs and fashions of men change like leaves on the bough, some of which go and others come.
Be as a tower firmly set Shakes not its top for any blast that blows.
Pride, envy, avarice - these are the sparks have set on fire the hearts of all men.
Beauty awakens the soul to act.
