Don't spend time beating on a wall, hoping to transform it into a door. It is a very delicate job to forgive a man, without lowering him in his estimation, and yours too. Every man, wherever he goes, is encompassed by a cloud of comforting convictions, which move with him like flies on a summer day. There is a time for work. And a time for love. That leaves no other time. Every time I paint a portrait I lose a friend. To be like Christ is to be a Christian.
