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.
All hope abandon, ye who enter here!
Beauty awakens the soul to act.
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.
Be as a tower firmly set Shakes not its top for any blast that blows.
Consider your origins: you were not made to live as brutes, but to follow virtue and knowledge.
The customs and fashions of men change like leaves on the bough, some of which go and others come.
The sad souls of those who lived without blame and without praise.
The secret of getting things done is to act!
Pride, envy, avarice - these are the sparks have set on fire the hearts of all men.
