Nothing Is Denied To Well-directed Labor.

Raphael And Titian Seem To Have Looked At Nature For Different Purposes; They Both Had The Power Of Extending Their View To The Whole; But One Looked Only For The General Effect As Produced By Form, The Other As Produced By Colour.

Genius Is Supposed To Be A Power Of Producing Excellences Which Are Put Of The Reach Of The Rules Of Art: A Power Which No Precepts Can Teach, And Which No Industry Can Acquire.

A Mere Copier Of Nature Can Never Produce Anything Great.

Common Observation And A Plain Understanding Is The Source Of All Art.

Certainly, Nothing Can Be More Simple Than Monotony.
