Vincent Van Gogh

Success is sometimes the outcome of a whole string of failures.

Vincent Van Gogh

As practice makes perfect, I cannot but make progress; each drawing one makes, each study one paints, is a step forward.

Vincent Van Gogh

As we advance in life it becomes more and more difficult, but in fighting the difficulties the inmost strength of the heart is developed.

Vincent Van Gogh

Don’t lose heart if it is very difficult at times, everything will come out all right and nobody can in the beginning do as he wishes.

Vincent Van Gogh

Even the knowledge of my own fallibility cannot keep me from making mistakes. Only when I fall do I get up again.

Vincent Van Gogh

For the great doesn’t happen through impulse alone, and is a succession of little things that are brought together.

Vincent Van Gogh

Great things are done by a series of small things brought together.

Vincent Van Gogh

I dream of painting and then I paint my dream.

Vincent Van Gogh

I long so much to make beautiful things. But beautiful things require effort – and disappointment and perseverance.

Vincent Van Gogh

If you hear a voice within you say ‘you cannot paint,’ then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced.
