“There's a very famous Miyamoto Musashi quote. "Once you understand the way broadly, you can see it in all things." The idea is once you understand what excellence is all about, whether it's in painting, or carpentry or martial arts, that you see how that excellence manifests itself in any discipline. I think that all the different things that I do enhance all the other things that I do.” ThinkingWayArtIdeasDifferentPaintingDisciplineAll ThingsExcellenceDifferent ThingsMartial ArtsMmaVery FamousCarpentry Author:Joe Rogan

“Remember always, in painting as in eloquence, the greater your strength, the quieter will be your manner, and the fewer your words; and in painting, as in all the arts and acts of life the secret of high success will be found, not in a fretful and various excellence, but in a quiet singleness of justly chosen aim.” ArtRememberFoundSecretGreaterPaintingQuietAimExcellenceVariousChosenFewerEloquenceSingleness Book:Precious Thoughts, Moral and Religious Source: Precious Thoughts, Moral and Religious
