Quote

A healthful hunger for a great idea is the beauty and blessedness of life

The essence of all beautiful art, all great art, is gratitude

Flattery is like cologne water, to be smelt, not swallowed

Art ought never to be considered except in its relations with its ideal beauty

There is not so variable a thing in nature as a lady's head-dress

Good nature is more agreeable in conversation than wit, and gives a certain air to the countenance which is more amiable than beauty
