1

Listen to the wind and dream

2

When creating always keep one eye on the Creation

3

Always ask: does my work serve Life? And if not, explain your question

4

Build spaces that are coy

5

Create structures that call forth the mystery of Nature

6

Weave stars and flowers in equal measure

7

Express the hidden nature of Water

8

Let air materialize

9

Immitate the force of growth

10

Celebrate the chain

11

The ego is the smallest possible space for Great Art

12

Observe and draw out the concept

13

Seek to strike the hidden chime

14

The Art that questions is great; the Art that seeks greater

15

Open the windows with Love

16

If God is not in your work let there be the sacredness of Life

17

True Art is a Mask of Eternity

18

If you will sing of yourself break hard against the shore

19

Let not Art serve the Ego but be the humble fulcrum

20

True Music is Journey

21

Music that is only of the body shall putrefy and rot a whole civilization

22

The Art that is Joy shall feed; the Art that is Life shall blossom

23

Learn to build the Cathedrals of Life

24

Learn to dip your hands into the Creation

Great Art opens Greatly

26

Strive to add pieces to the puzzle

27

Reflect the Reflection

28

Study the past deeply and then, laugh

29

Let your poetry sing of Time

30

True Art is Destiny

31

There is no great Art without great Philosophy

32

The Artist leads the children; it is a sacred task

33

Strive to see not to explain

34

Believe in the sacredness of Life and behold the dawn of a new civilization

35

Let them breathe

36

If you shall depict Evil strive to do it gently

37

Great Art is Great Religion and shall always be so

38

Teach the children to live poetically and conquer the Dragon

39

The Death of Art is the Death of Life

40

Step into the waters

41

There is so much art in a Tree

42

Return to Nature give it Man

43

May your Art serve Freedom always

44

An Art of Fire is great; an Art of Thought greater

45

The Artist is the holy hand

46

Genius is the complete erasure of the Genius

47

Let Love fill your Art; let Art fill your life; rise to the Creation

48

Bring visions of the holiness of Life

49

The Greatest Art awaits those willing to sail the mysterious edges of the Cosmos

50

Rejoice my brothers and sisters! The Art that is Life shall soon be born
