Skepticism is slow suicide.
Every natural action is graceful.
Whilst we want cities as the centres where the best things are found, cities degrade us by magnifying trifles.
Be a gift and a benediction.
Wherever work is done, victory is attained.
In sculpture did ever anybody call the Apollo a fancy piece? Or say of the Laocoon how it might be made different? A masterpiece of art has in the mind a fixed place in the chain of being, as much as a plant or a crystal.
