Quotations for wrote

The mob of gentlemen who wrote with ease. [ Pope ]

He had never kindly heart
Nor ever cared to better his own kind,
Who first wrote satire with no pity in it. [ Alfred Tennyson ]

We must write as Homer wrote, not what he wrote. [ Theophile Vian ]

No man but a blockhead ever wrote except for money. [ Samuel Johnson ]

The only impeccable authors are those that never wrote. [ Hazlitt ]

David's pen never wrote more sweetly than when dipped in the ink of affliction. [ G. Mason ]

Xenophon wrote with a swan's quill, Plato with a pen of gold, and Thucylides with a brazen stylus. [ Joubert ]

Never write except when you have something to say, and then say it simply - as Addison, Goldsmith, and Franklin wrote. [ Oliver Wendell Holmes, The Art Of Authorship, 1891 ]

The old prose writers wrote as if they were speaking to an audience; while, among us, prose is invariably written for the eye alone. [ Niebuhr ]

Many books require no thought from those who read them, and for a simple reason, - they made no such demand upon those who wrote them. [ Colton ]

The accusing spirit, which flew off to heaven's chancery with the oath blushed as he gave it in; and the recording angel, as he wrote it down, dropped a tear upon the word and blotted it out forever. [ Sterne ]

The masters painted for joy, and knew not that virtue had gone out of them. They could not paint the like in cold blood. The masters of English lyric wrote their songs so. It was a fine efflorescence of fine powers. [ Emerson ]

Talk to the point, and stop when you have reached it. The faculty some possess of making one idea cover a quire of paper is not good for much. Be comprehensive in all you say or write. To fill a volume upon nothing is a credit to nobody; though Lord Chesterfield wrote a very clever poem upon nothing. [ John Neal ]

Frivolous curiosity about trifles, and laborious attentions to little objects which neither require nor deserve a moment's thought, lower a man, who from thence is thought (and not unjustly) incapable of greater matters. Cardinal de Retz very sagaciously marked out Cardinal Chigi for a little mind, from the moment he told him that he had wrote three years with the same pen, and that it was an excellent good one still. [ Chesterfield ]
