The human mind cannot go beyond the gift of God, the Holy Ghost. To suppose that art can go beyond the finest specimens of art that are now in the world is not knowing what art is; it is being blind to the gifts of the spirit.
Every mortal loss is an immortal gain.
None but blockheads copy each other.
To create a little flower is the labour of ages.
Sooner strangle an infant in its cradle than nurse unacted desires.
The Errors of a Wise Man make your Rule Rather than the Perfections of a Fool.
