More quotes by William Shenstone
Necessity may be the mother of lucrative invention, but it is the death of poetical invention.
A man has generally the good or ill qualities which he attributes to mankind.
Oft has good-nature been the fool's defence,
And honest meaning gilded want of sense.
Love can be founded upon nature only; or the appearance of it.
