More quotes by Leigh Hunt
Occupation is the necessary basis of all enjoyment.
Leigh Hunt

Leigh Hunt
Cats at firesides live luxuriously and are the picture of comfort.
Leigh Hunt

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
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
With spots of sunny openings, and with nooks To lie and read in, sloping into brooks.
Leigh Hunt
Where the mouth is sweet and the eyes intelligent, there is always the look of beauty, with a right heart.
Leigh Hunt
Write me as one who loves his fellow men.
Leigh Hunt

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
A friend of ours, who is an admirer of Isaac Walton, was struck, just as we were, with the likeness of the old angler's face to a fish.
Leigh Hunt
The beautiful attracts the beautiful.
Leigh Hunt
The two divinest things this world has got,A lovely woman in a rural spot!
Leigh Hunt
There are two worlds: The world that we can measure with line and rule, and the world we feel with our hearts and imaginations.
Leigh Hunt
Poetry is the breath of beauty.
Leigh Hunt
A pleasure so exquisite as almost to amount to pain.
Leigh Hunt
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.
Leigh Hunt
Your second-hand bookseller is second to none in the worth of the treasures he dispenses.
Leigh Hunt
Traveling in the company of those we love is home in motion.
