More quotes by Leigh Hunt
When moral courage feels that it is in the right, there is no personal daring of which it is incapable.
Leigh Hunt
Oh for a seat in some poetic nook, Just hid with trees and sparkling with a brook!
Leigh Hunt
Some tears belong to us because we are unfortunate others, because we are humane many, because we are mortal. But most are caused by our being unwise. It is these last only that of necessity produce more.
Leigh Hunt
Stolen sweets are always sweeter, Stolen kisses much completer, Stolen looks are nice in chapels, Stolen, stolen be your apples.
Leigh Hunt
The groundwork of all happiness is health.
Leigh Hunt
Part of our good consists in the endeavor to do sorrows away, and in the power to sustain them when the endeavor fails,--to bear them nobly, and thus help others to bear them as well.
Leigh Hunt
There is no greater mistake in the world than the looking upon every sort of nonsense as want of sense.
Leigh Hunt
The fish is swift, small-needing, vague yet clear, A cold, sweet, silver life, wrapped in round waves.
Leigh Hunt
If you are ever at a loss to support a flagging conversation, introduce the subject of eating.
Leigh Hunt
An author is like a baker it is for him to make the sweets, and others to buy and enjoy them.
Leigh Hunt
Fishes do not roar they cannot express any sound of suffering and therefore the angler chooses to think they do not suffer, more than it is convenient for him to fancy. Now it is a poor sport that depends for its existence on the want of a voice in the sufferer, and of imagination in the sportsman.
Leigh Hunt
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
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
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
Colors are the smiles of Nature. When they are extremely smiling, and break forth into other beauty besides, they are her laughs.
Leigh Hunt
This garden has a soul, I know its moods.
Leigh Hunt
The loveliest hair is nothing, if the wearer is incapable of a grace.
Leigh Hunt
Wit is the clash and reconcilement of incongruities the meeting of extremes round a corner.
Leigh Hunt
Great women belong to history and to self-sacrifice, not to the annals of a stage, however dignified.
Leigh Hunt
The last excessive feelings of delight are always grave.
Leigh Hunt
