John Ruskin
Nature is painting for us, day after day, pictures of infinite beauty.
John Ruskin
Race is precisely of as much consequence in man as it is in any animal.
John Ruskin
There is nothing so great or so goodly in creation, but that it is a mean symbol of the gospel of Christ, and of the things He has prepared for them that love Him.
John Ruskin
Disorder in a drawing-room is vulgar in an antiquary's study, not the black battle-stain on a soldier's face is not vulgar, but the dirty face of a housemaid is.
John Ruskin
There is no wealth but life.
