John Ruskin

“In general, pride is at the bottom of all great mistakes.”

“God gives us always strength enough, and sense enough, for everything He wants us to do.”

“Beauty deprived of its proper foils and adjuncts ceases to be enjoyed as beauty, just as light deprived of all shadows ceases to be enjoyed as light.”

“There is no wealth but life.”

“All violent feelings have the same effect. They produce in us a falseness in all our impressions of external things, which I would generally characterize as the pathetic fallacy.”

“To make your children capable of honesty is the beginning of education.”
