“The art of government is the organisation of idolatry.”– George Bernard Shaw Related Quotes “Life is the only art that we are required to practice without preparation, and without being allowed the preliminary trials, the failures and botches, that are essential for training.”– Lewis Mumford “Don’t be an art critic. Paint. There lies salvation.”– Paul Cezanne “Because most people are not sufficiently employed in themselves, they run about loose, hungering for employment, and satisfy themselves in various supererogatory occupations. The easiest of these occupations, which have all to do with making things already made, is the making of people: it is called the art of friendship.”– Laura Riding
