John Ruskin
It is not how much one makes but to what purpose one spends.
John Ruskin
To do your own work well, whether it be for life or death.
John Ruskin
Quality is never an accident. It is always the result of intelligent effort.
John Ruskin
Give an earnest-hearted, devoted girl any true work that will make her active in the dawn, and weary at night, with the consciousness that her fellow-creatures have indeed been the better for her day, and the powerless sorrow of her enthusiasm will transform itself into a majesty of radiant and beneficent peace.
John Ruskin
