John Ruskin

John Ruskin

John Ruskin

John Ruskin
To speak and act truth with constancy and precision is nearly as difficult, and perhaps as meretorious, as to speak it under intimidation or penalty
John Ruskin
Society has sacrificed its virtues to the Goddess of Getting Along.
John Ruskin
The history of humanity is not the history of its wars, but the history of its households.
John Ruskin
