There are many difficult things in life, but the most difficult of all is to learn and to know and to practice the art of personality.
We learn personality by our love of art, by our love of beauty in all its less various aspects.
The art of personality is not a qualification. It is the purpose for which man was created, and it leads man to that purpose in the fulfillment of which is his entire satisfaction.



Gentleness is the principal thing in the art of personality; one can see how gentleness works as the principal thing in every art.

 


The art of personality is, in reality, learning to dance.
For no soul is created to stand aside and look on, every soul is created to dance.
The soul who refuses certainly shows its ignorance of the great purpose for which the whole play is produced on the stage of the earth.
