Almost all men are over-anxious. No sooner do they enter the world
than they lose that taste for natural and simple pleasures so
remarkable in early life. Every hour do they ask themselves what
progress they have made in the pursuit of wealth or honor; and on they
go as their fathers went before them, till, weary and sick at heart,
they look back with a sigh of regret to the golden time of their
childhood.--ROGERS.
Nothing in life is more remarkable than the unnecessary anxiety which
we endure and generally occasion ourselves.--BEACONSFIELD.

ART.--The perfection of art is to conceal art.--QUINTILIAN.
Art must anchor in nature, or it is the sport of every breath of
folly.--HAZLITT.
Beauty is at once the ultimate principle and the highest aim of
art.--GOETHE.
Art does not imitate, but interpret.
