-- John Ruskin
To be able to ask a question clearly is two thirds of the way to getting it answered.
-- John Ruskin
No human being, however great, or powerful, was ever so free as a fish.
-- John Ruskin
The highest reward for man's toil is not what he gets for it, but what he becomes by it.
-- John Ruskin
In every person who comes near you look for what is good and strong; honor that; try to imitate it, and your faults will drop off like dead leaves when their time comes.
-- John Ruskin
There are, indeed, two forms of discontent: one laborious, the other indolent and complaining. We respect the man of laborious desire, but let us not suppose that his restlessness is peace, or his ambition meekness. It is because of the special connection of meekness with contentment that it is promised that the meek shall 'inherit the earth.' Neither covetous men, nor the Grave, can inherit anything; they can but consume. Only contentment can possess.
-- John Ruskin
