John Ruskin
Your labor only may be sold, your soul must not.
John Ruskin
To do your own work well, whether it be for life or death.
John Ruskin

John Ruskin
Death is not a journey into an unknown land it is a voyage home. We are going, not to a strange country, but to our fathers house.
John Ruskin
Wise laws and just restraints are to a noble nation not chains, but chains of mail, -- strength and defense, though something of an incumbrance.
John Ruskin
