More quotes by Hugh Kingsmill
The public mind [is] a cloudy region where only the simplest shapes are discerned with any accuracy.
Charity may cover a multitude of sins, but success transmutes them into virtues.
Society is based on the assumption that everyone is alike and that no one is alive.
Ideas get substance and value not by being discussed but by being lived.

Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind,
And therefore is wing'd Cupid painted blind.

Not for the body, but for the heart; companion and company are needed.
Love seldom haunts the breast where learning lies,
And Venus sets ere Mercury can rise.
