The most intangible, and therefore the worst, kind of a lie is a half truth. This is the peculiar device of a conscientious detractor (Washington Allston Quotes)
I have no ambition to shine beyond my abilities (Washington Allston Quotes)
Never judge a work of art by its defects (Washington Allston Quotes)

Desert being the essential condition of praise, there can be no reality in the one without the other (Washington Allston Quotes)
He who has no pleasure in looking up, is not fit so much as to look down (Washington Allston Quotes)
If the whole world should agree to speak nothing but truth, what an abridgment it would make of speech! And what an unravelling there would be of the invisible webs which men, like so many spiders, now weave about each other! (Washington Allston Quotes)
Reputation is but a synonym of popularity: dependent on suffrage, to be increased or diminished at the will of the voters (Washington Allston Quotes)
All effort at originality must end either in the quaint or the monstrous. For no man knows himself as an original; he can only believe it on the report of others (Washington Allston Quotes)
Humility is also a healing virtue; it will cicatrize a thousand wounds, which pride would keep forever open (Washington Allston Quotes)
Make no man your idol, for the best man must have faults; and his faults will insensibly become yours, in addition to your own (Washington Allston Quotes)
I cannot believe that any man who deserved fame ever labored for it; that is, directly. For, as fame is but the contingent of excellence, it would be like an attempt to project a shadow, before its substance was obtained (Washington Allston Quotes)
The painter who is content with the praise of the world for what does not satisfy himself, is not an artist, but an artisan; for though his reward be only praise, his pay is that of a mechanic (Washington Allston Quotes)
