Brains and character rule the world. The most distinguished Frenchman of the last century said: men succeed less by their talents than their character. There were scores of men a hundred years ago who had more intellect than Washington. He outlives and overrides them all by the influence of his character Picture Quote #1

There is only one art, whose sole criterion is the power, the authenticity, the revelatory insight, the courage and suggestiveness with which it seeks its truth.

Truth is not merely what we are thinking, but also why, to whom and under what circumstances we say it Picture Quote #1

Enough of satire; in less hardened times great was her force, and mighty were her rhymes. I've read of men, beyond man's daring brave, who yet have trembled at the strokes she gave; whose souls have felt more terrible alarms from her one line, than from a world in arms Picture Quote #1
