Sir Joshua Reynolds
» Character » “The real character of a man is found out by his amusements.”
» Good Deeds » “Nothing can be made of nothing; he who has laid up no material can produce no combination.”
» Invention and Inventor » “Invention strictly speaking, is little more than a new combination of those images which have been previously gathered and deposited in the memory; nothing can come from nothing.”
» Work » “If you have great talents, industry will improve them: if you have but moderate abilities, industry will supply their deficiency.”
