It has no creeds, no articles of faith, no schemes of salvation...
Page 572 - For there is no comparison between that which we may lose by not trying and by not succeeding ; since by not trying we throw away the chance of an immense good ; by not succeeding we only incur the loss of a little human labour.
Page 563 - In landscapes, the painter should give the suggestion of a fairer creation than we know. The details, the prose of nature, he should omit, and give us only the spirit and splendour.
