Considered Epigrams

Famous quotes containing the words considered and/or epigrams:

    He who has learned what is commonly considered the whole art of painting, that is, the art of representing any natural object faithfully, has as yet only learned the language by which his thoughts are to be expressed.
    John Ruskin (1819–1900)

    If true that notion, which but few contest,
    That in the way of wit short things are best,
    Then in good epigrams two virtues meet,
    For ‘tis their glory to be short and sweet.
    —Anonymous. From A Collection of Epigrams (1727)
