122 ÆäÀÌÁö - Beauty is no quality in things themselves : it exists merely in the mind which contemplates them; and each mind perceives a different beauty.
121 ÆäÀÌÁö - All sentiment is right; because sentiment has a reference to nothing beyond itself, and is always real, wherever a man is conscious of it. But all determinations of the understanding are not right, because they have a reference to something beyond themselves, — to wit, real matter of fact, and are not always conformable to that standard.
128 ÆäÀÌÁö - Though it be certain that beauty and deformity, more than sweet and bitter, are not qualities in objects, but belong entirely to the sentiment, internal or external, it must be allowed that there are certain qualities in objects which are fitted by nature to produce those particular feelings.
204 ÆäÀÌÁö - Nature must have provided some other principle, of more ready and more general use and application ; nor can an operation of such immense consequence in life as that of inferring effects, from causes, be trusted to the uncertain process of reasoning and argumentation.
118 ÆäÀÌÁö - Every voice is united in applauding elegance, propriety, simplicity, spirit in writing; and in blaming fustian, affectation, coldness, and a false brilliancy. But when critics come to particulars, this seeming unanimity vanishes; and it is found, that they had affixed a very different meaning to their expressions.
137 ÆäÀÌÁö - Thus, though the principles of taste be universal, and nearly, if not entirely, the same in all men ; yet few are qualified to give judgment on any work of art, or establish their own sentiment as the standard of beauty.
126 ÆäÀÌÁö - ... and if they fail of their effect in any particular instance, it is from some apparent defect or imperfection in the organ. A man in a fever would not insist on his palate as able to decide concerning flavours; nor would one, aifected with the jaundice, pretend to give a verdict with regard to colours.
40 ÆäÀÌÁö - ... upon the importation of many different sorts of foreign goods, in order to discourage their consumption in Great Britain, have in many cases served only to encourage smuggling, and in all cases have reduced the revenue of the customs below what more moderate duties would have afforded. The saying of Dr. Swift, that in the arithmetic of the customs two and two, instead of making four, make sometimes only one, holds perfectly true with regard to such heavy duties...
117 ÆäÀÌÁö - One that has well digested his knowledge, both of books and men, has little enjoyment but in the company of a few select companions. He feels too sensibly how much all the rest of mankind fall short of the notions which he has entertained; and his affections being thus confined within a narrow circle, no wonder he carries them further than if they were more general and undistinguished. The gayety and frolic of a bottle companion improves with him into a solid friendship ; and the ardors of a youthful...
91 ÆäÀÌÁö - Nothing can please persons of taste, but nature drawn with all her graces and ornaments, la belle nature ; or if we copy low life, the strokes must be strong and remarkable, and must convey a lively image to the mind.
