“
Every year of my life I grow more convinced that it is wisest and best to fix our attention on the beautiful and good and dwell as little as possible on the dark and the base.

Can you more specifically identify the person who is the source of this quote? Is it the 16th Century William Cecil, Lord Burleigh?
Thanks.
Caroline,
From my source, the person who said these words is Richard Cecil (8 November 1748 – 15 August 1810) , a leading Evangelical Anglican clergyman of the 18th and 19th centuries
