Additional quotes by Joshua Reynolds

You are never to lose sight of nature; the instant you do, you are all abroad, at the mercy of every gust of fashion, without knowing or seeing the point to which you ought to steer.

You must have no dependence on your own genius. If you have great talents, industry will improve them; if you have but moderate abilities, industry will supply their deficiency.

There is no expedient to which a man will not resort to avoid the real labor of thinking.

The art of seeing Nature, or in other words, the art of using Models, is in reality the great object, the point to which all our studies are directed. - Joshua Reynolds
