Race is precisely of as much consequence in man as it is in any animal.
John Ruskin
Image
Other men used their effete faiths and mean faculties with a high moral purpose. The Venetian gave the most earnest faith, and the lordliest faculty, to gild the shadows of an antechamber, or heighten the splendours of a holiday.
John Ruskin
Image
Do not think it wasted time to submit yourselves to any influence which may bring upon you any noble feeling.
John Ruskin
Image
If the design of the building be originally bad, the only virtue it can ever possess will be signs of antiquity.
John Ruskin
Image
A gentleman's first characteristic is that fineness of structure in the body which renders it capable of the most delicate sensation and of structure in the mind which renders it capable of the most delicate sympathies one may say simply fineness of nature.
John Ruskin
Image
Variety is a positive requisite even in the character of our food.
John Ruskin
Image
It is better to lose your pride with someone you love rather than to lose that someone you love with your useless pride.
