Compassion can be roughly defined in terms of a state of mind that is nonviolent, nonharming, and nonaggressive. It is a mental attitude based on the wish for others to be free of their suffering and is associated with a sense of commitment, responsibility, and respect towards others.

The art of a people is a true mirror to their minds.

To my mind the old masters are not art; their value is in their scarcity.

Leave to the masters of art trained by a lifetime of devotion the wonderful process of picture-building and picture creation. Go out into the sunlight and be happy with what you see.

The brain can be developed just as the muscles can be, if one will only take the pains to train the mind to think.
