In nature all is managed for the best with perfect frugality and just reserve, profuse to none, but bountiful to all; never employing on one thing more than enough, but with exact economy retrenching the superfluous, and adding force to what is principal in everything.

Anthony Shaftesbury 45 quotes

In nature, all is managed for the best with perfect frugality and just reserve, profuse to none, but bountiful to all; never employing on one thing more than enough, but with exact economy retrenching the superfluous, and adding force to what is principal in everything.

Anthony Shaftesbury 45 quotes

Pedantry and bigotry are mills...

Pedantry and bigotry are millstones, able to sink the best book which carries the least part of their dead weight. The temper of the pedagogue suits not with the age; and the world, however it may be taught, will not be tutored.

As many as are the difficulties which Virtue has to encounter in this world, her force is yet superior.

Temper, if ungoverned, governs the whole man.

The most natural beauty in the world is honesty and moral truth. For all beauty is truth.

It is the saying of an ancient sage that humor was the only test of gravity, and gravity of humor.

The one and only formative pow...

The one and only formative power given to man Is thought. By his thinking he not only makes character, but body and affairs, for as he thinketh within himself, so is he. Prejudice is a mist, which in our journey through the world often dims the brightest and obscures the best of all the good and glorious objects that meet us on our way.

Anthony Shaftesbury 45 quotes

Wit is its own remedy. Liberty...

Wit is its own remedy. Liberty and commerce bring it to its true standard. The only danger is the laying an embargo. The same thing happens here as in the case of trade: impositions and restrictions reduce it to a low ebb; nothing is so advantageous to it as a free port.

They who are great talkers in company have never been any talkers by themselves, nor used to private discussions of our home regimen.

Anthony Shaftesbury 45 quotes

Truth is the most powerful thi...

Truth is the most powerful thing in the world, since even fiction itself must be governed by it, and can only please by its resemblance. The appearance of reality is necessary to make any passion agreeably represented, and to be able to move others we must be moved ourselves, or at least seem to be so, upon some probable grounds.

Anthony Shaftesbury 45 quotes

A right mind and generous affe...

A right mind and generous affection hath more beauty and charms than all other symmetries in the world besides; and a grain of honesty and native worth is of more value than all the adventitious ornaments, estates, or preferments; for the sake of which some of the better sort so oft turn knaves.

Anthony Shaftesbury 45 quotes

Nothing affects the heart like...

Nothing affects the heart like that which is purely from itself, and of its own nature; such as the beauty of sentiments, the grace of actions, the turn of characters, and the proportions and features of a human mind.

Anthony Shaftesbury 45 quotes

We may have an excellent ear f...

We may have an excellent ear for music, without being able to perform in any kind; we may judge well of poetry, without being poets, or possessing the least of a poetic vein; but we can have no tolerable notion of goodness without being tolerably good.

Anthony Shaftesbury 45 quotes

To love the public, to study u...

To love the public, to study universal good, and to promote the interest of the whole world, as far as lies within our power, is the height of goodness, and makes that temper which we call divine.

Anthony Shaftesbury 45 quotes

Remember that there is nothing...

Remember that there is nothing in God but what is godlike; and that He is either not at all, or truly and perfectly good.

Anthony Shaftesbury 45 quotes

The greatest of fools is he who imposes on himself, and in his greatest concern thinks certainly he knows that which he has least studied, and of which he is most profoundly ignorant.

Anthony Shaftesbury 45 quotes

It is necessary a writing critic should understand how to write. And though every writer is not bound to show himself in the capacity of critic, every writing critic is bound to show himself capable of being a writer; for if he be apparently impotent in this latter kind, he is to be denied all title or character in the other.

True features make the beauty of a face, and true proportions the beauty of architecture.
