Nothing Overshadows Truth So Much

I Will Never Tire Of Recommending The Custom, Practiced By The Best Architects, Of Preparing Not Only Drawings And Sketches, But Also Models Of Wood Or Any Other Material. These... Enable Us To Examine... The Work As A Whole... And, Before Continuing Any Further, To Estimate The Likely Trouble And Expense.

The Arts Are Learnt By Reason And Method; They Are Mastered By Practice.

The Greatest Work Of An Artist Is The History Of A Painting.

Men Are Themselves The Source Of Their Own Fortune And Misfortune.

Painting Is Possessed Of Divine Power, For Not Only Does It Make The Absent Present, But Also Makes The Dead Almost Alive.
