The Imagination Is Never Governed, It Is

There Is No Solemnity So Deep, To A Right-thinking Creature, As That Of Dawn.

Nature Is Always Mysterious And Secret In Her Use Of Means; And Art Is Always Likest Her When It Is Most Inexplicable.

All Real And Wholesome Enjoyments Possible To People Have Been Just As Possible To Them Since First They Were Made Of The Earth As They Are Now; And They Are Possible To Them Chiefly In Peace. To Watch The Corn Grow, And The Blossoms Set; To Draw Hard Breath Over Plowshare Or Spade; To Read, To Think, To Love, To Hope: These Are The Things That Make People Happy.

In Painting As In Eloquence, The Greater Your Strength, The Quieter Your Manner.

The True Work Of A Critic Is Not To Make His Hearer Believe Him, But Agree With Him.
