Poetry Is The Art Of Substantiating Shadows,

Laws, Like Houses, Lean On One Another.

The Only Kind Of Sublimity Which A Painter Or Sculptor Should Aim At Is To Express By Certain Proportions And Positions Of Limbs And Features That Strength And Dignity Of Mind, And Vigor And Activity Of Body, Which Enables Men To Conceive And Execute Great Actions.

A Very Great Part Of The Mischiefs That Vex The World Arises From Words.

I Do Not Know The Method Of Drawing Up An Indictment Against A Whole People.

I Cannot Conceive How Any Man Can Have Brought Himself To That Pitch Of Presumption, To Consider His Country As Nothing But Carte Blanche, Upon Which He May Scribble Whatever He Pleases.
