Advice, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

One ought, every day at least, to hear a little song, read a good poem, see a fine picture and, if possible, speak a few reasonable words.

- Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832)

Art, Francois Cavanna

When Michelangelo finished the painting of the Sistine Chapel's ceiling, he spent the rest of his life trying to remove the paint that had poured into his sleeve.

- François Cavanna (1923- )

Life, Hippocrates

Greek Ὁ βίος βραχύς, ἡ δὲ τέχνη μακρή, ὁ δὲ καιρὸς ὀξύς, ἡ δὲ πεῖρα σφαλερή, ἡ δὲ κρίσις χαλεπή. - Hippokratēs Life is short, art is long, opportunity fleeting, experiment uncertain, and judgement difficult. - Hippocrates (460BC–370BC)
