“Nature is that which is constant. Art is the imitation of nature, and nature’s laws are the rules of art.”
“Every man has his own taste. Some prefer the beautiful, others the grand, many the tender, and others the severe in writing.”
“It is always better to have too much courtesy than too little, provided you are not equally courteous to all, for that would be injustice.”
“The pleasure arising from an object which is merely beautiful, is not so exquisite as that which arises from one that is grand and beautiful.”
