To receive a present handsomely and in a right spirit, even when you have none to give in return, is to give one in return.
Leigh Hunt
Image
Christmas is the glorious time of great Too-Much.
Leigh Hunt
Image
I am persuaded there is no such thing after all as a perfect enjoyment of solitude for the more delicious the solitude the more one wants a companion.
Leigh Hunt

If you are ever at a loss to support a flagging conversation, introduce the subject of eating.
Leigh Hunt
Image
There is no greater mistake in the world than the looking upon every sort of nonsense as want of sense.
Leigh Hunt
Image
Stolen kisses are always sweetest.
Leigh Hunt
Image
The very greatest genius, after all, is not the greatest thing in the world, any more than the greatest city in the world is the country or the sky. It is the concentration of some of its greatest powers, but it is not the greatest diffusion of its might. It is not the habit of its success, the stability of its sereneness.
Leigh Hunt
Image
An author is like a baker it is for him to make the sweets, and others to buy and enjoy them.
Leigh Hunt
Image
An exquisite invention this, Worthy of Love's most honeyed kiss,-- This art of writing billet-doux-- In buds, and odors, and bright hues! In saying all one feels and thinks In clever daffodils and pinks In puns of tulips and in phrases, Charming for their truth, of daisies.
Leigh Hunt

A pleasure so exquisite as almost to amount to pain.
Leigh Hunt
Image
Nature, at all events, humanly speaking, is manifestly very fond of color for she has made nothing without it. Her skies are blue her fields, green her waters vary with her skies her animals, vegetables, minerals, are all colored. She paints a great any of them in apparently superfluous hues, as if to show the dullest eye how she loves color.
Leigh Hunt
Image
Did you ever observe that immoderate laughter always ends in a sigh?
Leigh Hunt
Image
Stolen sweets are always sweeter, Stolen kisses much completer, Stolen looks are nice in chapels, Stolen, stolen be your apples.
Leigh Hunt
Image
There seems a life in hair, though it be dead.
Leigh Hunt
Image
There is scarcely a single joy or sorrow within the experience of our fellow-creatures which we have not tasted yet the belief, in the good and beautiful has never forsaken us. It has been medicine to us in sickness, richness in poverty, and the best part of all that ever delighted us in health and success.
Leigh Hunt
Image
Beauty too often sacrifices to fashion. The spirit of fashion is not the beautiful, but the wilful not the graceful, but the fantastic not the superior in the abstract, but the superior in the worst of all concretes,-the vulgar.
Leigh Hunt
Image
When moral courage feels that it is in the right, there is no personal daring of which it is incapable.
Leigh Hunt
Image
For the qualities of sheer wit and humor, Swift had no superior, ancient or modern.
Leigh Hunt
Image
Where the mouth is sweet and the eyes intelligent, there is always the look of beauty, with a right heart.
Leigh Hunt
Image
Affection, like melancholy, magnifies trifles but the magnifying of the one is like looking through a telescope at heavenly objects that of the other, like enlarging monsters with a microscope.
