Quote collections

Just been out and about collecting quotes again…
Here are just a few to share
Louise Nevelson
Art is everywhere, except it has to pass through a creative mind.
Edmond and Jules De Goncourt
A painting in a museum probably hears more foolish remarks than anything else in the world.
William A. Ward
Before you speak, listen. Before you write, think. Before you spend, earn. Before you invest, investigate. Before you criticize, wait. Before you pray, forgive. Before you quit, try. Before you retire, save. Before you die, give.
