John Ruskin
In great countries, children are always trying to remain children, and the parents want to make them into adults. In vile countries, the children are always wanting to be adults and the parents want to keep them children.
John Ruskin
The object of true education is to make people not merely do the right things, but enjoy them
John Ruskin
Let us reform our schools, and we shall find little reform needed in our prisons.
