“I am reminded of the professor who, in his declining hours, was asked by his devoted pupils for his final counsel. He replied, 'Verify your quotations.”

“Art is right reason in the doing of work.”

“Writing is the painting of the voice.”

“Presently we pass to some other object which rounds itself into a whole as did the first; for example, a well-laid garden; and nothing seems worth doing but the laying~out of gardens.”

“Nowadays almost all man's improvements, so called, as the building of houses and the cutting down of the forest and of all large trees, simply deform the landscape, and make it more and more tame and cheap.”

“Sometimes you can have a whole lifetime in a day and never notice that this is a beautiful as it gets.”

“Better a diamond with a flaw than a pebble without.”
