The legitimate aim of criticism is to direct attention to the excellent. The bad will dig its own grave.

Christian Nevell Bovee 398 quotes

No work deserves to be critici...

No work deserves to be criticized that has not much in it that deserves to be applauded.

Christian Nevell Bovee 398 quotes

The method of the critic is to...

The method of the critic is to balance praises with censure, and thus to do justice to the subject and--his own discrimination.

The very cunning conceal their cunning; the indifferently shrewd boast of it.

Christian Nevell Bovee 398 quotes

Our courage is greater to dare...

Our courage is greater to dare a visible than an imagined danger. A visible danger rouses our energies to meet or avert it; a fancied peril appalls from its presenting nothing to be resisted. Thus, a panic is, usually, a sudden going over to the enemy of our imagination. All is then lost, for we have not only to fight against that enemy, but our imagination as well.

By his provocations to good-natured merriment, a humorist of the first water contributes as much to the sum of happiness as the gravest philosopher.

Love makes a few weeks so rich...

Love makes a few weeks so rich that all the rest of our lives seems poor in comparison.

Christian Nevell Bovee 398 quotes

We cannot reason ourselves int...

We cannot reason ourselves into love, nor can we reason ourselves out of it, which suggests that love and reason have little to do with each other.

Christian Nevell Bovee 398 quotes

None but those who have loved ...

None but those who have loved can be supposed to understand the oratory of the eye, the mute eloquence of a look, or the conversational powers of the face. Love's sweetest meanings are unspoken; the full heart knows no rhetoric of words, and resorts to the pantomime of sighs and glances.

Christian Nevell Bovee 398 quotes

Logic invents as many fallacie...

Logic invents as many fallacies as it detects; it is a good weapon, but as liable to be used in a bad as in a good cause.

Christian Nevell Bovee 398 quotes

Life being full of harsh reali...

Life being full of harsh realities, we seek relief from them in a variety of pleasing delusions.

Christian Nevell Bovee 398 quotes

Life is indeed either a rich p...

Life is indeed either a rich possession or a poor, according as it is made subservient to noble aims or ignoble pleasures.

Christian Nevell Bovee 398 quotes

Within the sacred walls of libraries we find the best thoughts, the purest feelings, and the most exalted imaginings of our race.

Christian Nevell Bovee 398 quotes

Who aspires to remain leader m...

Who aspires to remain leader must keep in advance of his column. His fear must not play traitor to his occasions. The instant he falls into line with his followers, a bolder spirit may throw himself at the head of the movement initiated, and in that moment his leadership is gone.

The cause of laziness is physi...

The cause of laziness is physiological; it is an infirmity of the constitution, and its victim is as much to be pitied as a sufferer from any other constitutional infirmity. It is even worse than many other diseases; from them the patient may recover, while this is incurable.

Christian Nevell Bovee 398 quotes

The language denotes the man. ...

The language denotes the man. A coarse or refined character finds its expression naturally in a coarse or refined phraseology.

An illusion dissipated is an e...

An illusion dissipated is an experience gained.

The less the difference, the greater the quarrel over it.

Besides the five senses, there is a sixth sense, of equal importance--the sense of duty.
