No race can prosper till it learns that there is as much dignity in tilling a field as in writing a poem.

Well done is better than well said.

I choose a block of marble and chop off whatever I don't need.

What makes my Thinker think is that he thinks not only with his brain, with his knitted brow, his distended nostrils and compressed lips, but with every muscle of his arms, back, and legs, with his clenched fist and gripping toes.

You can't climb the ladder of success with your hands in your pockets.

Good parts don't just land in your lap. You have to fight for them.

The actor is an athlete of the heart.

Writing a play is like one person playing solitaire.

I've never worked a day in my life. The joy of creating, the joy of working, is the only thing that keeps me going.
