Art

Ars Longa, vita brevis. (Art is long, but life short)

The Latin version of the Greek original by Hippocrates. Compare Longfellow's 'Art is long, and time is fleeting' (A Psalm of  Life)

Art consists in concealing are.

An anonymous aphorism, perhaps deriving from Ovid,s "Si latet are, prodest'-If art be concealed, it succeeds.
Nature I loved and,next to Nature,Art.

W.S. Landor, The Last Fruit of an Old Tree.
