“There is no better proof of a mans being truly good than his desiring to be constantly under the observation of good men.”

“Sculpture and painting are very justly called liberal arts; a lively and strong imagination, together with a just observation, being absolutely necessary to excel in either; which, in my opinion, is by no means the case of music, though called a liberal art, and now in Italy placed even above the other twoa proof of the decline of that country.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (16941773)
