Subject: Writing

...in order that a man may be happy, it is necessary that he should not only be capable of his work, but a good judge of his work.
Subject: Work

In order that people may be happy in their work, these three things are needed: They must be fit for it: They must not do too much of it: And they must have a sense of success in it.
Subject: Work

Do not think of your faults, still less of other's faults; look for what is good and strong, and try to imitate it. Your faults will drop off, like dead leaves, when their time comes.

They are good furniture pictures, unworthy of praise, and undeserving of blame.

No lying knight or lying priest ever prospered in any age, but especially not in the dark ones. Men prospered then only in following an openly declared purpose, and preaching candidly beloved and trusted creeds.

It is far more difficult to be simple than to be complicated; far more difficult to sacrifice skill and easy execution in the proper place, than to expand both indiscriminately.

The first test of a truly great man is his humility. By humility I don't mean doubt of his powers or hesitation in speaking his opinion, but merely an understanding of the relationship of what he can say and what he can do.

Fine art is that in which the hand, the head, and the heart of man go together.

Doing is the great thing, for if people resolutely do what is right, they come in time to like doing it.

A book worth reading is worth buying.

Of all the things that oppress me, this sense of the evil working of nature herself - my disgust at her barbarity - clumsiness - darkness - bitter mockery of herself - is the most desolating.

An unimaginative person can neither be reverent or kind.
