Text
1. PRACTICE
Those who are in love with practice without knowledge are like the sailor who gets into a ship without rudder or compass and who never can be certain whither he is going. Practice must always be founded on sound theory, and to this, perspective is the guide and the gateway; and without this nothing can be done well in the matter of drawing.
2. PERCEPTION
All our knowledge has its origin in our perceptions.
3. THE GREATEST GOOD
The greatest good of all is knowledge.
Obstacle cannot crush me. Every obstacle yields to firm resolve.
The acquisition of any knowledge is always useful to the intellect, because it will be able to banish useless things and retain those that are good. For nothing can be loved or hated unless it is first known.
