Quote by William Nazlitt

A thing is not vulgar merely because it is common


A thing is not vulgar merely because it is common

Summary

This quote suggests that just because something is common or widely accepted does not automatically make it vulgar or low-class. Vulgarity should not be judged based on prevalence alone, as there are many commonplace things that can possess depth, beauty, and a sense of dignity. It urges the listener or reader not to dismiss or judge something solely due to its frequency or popularity but to consider its intrinsic value, merit, and potential for excellence.
