To make your children capable of honesty is the beginning of education.
From John Ruskin
No art can be noble which is incapable of expressing thought, and no art is capable of expressing thought which does not change.
Large fortunes are all founded either on the occupation of land, or lending or the taxation of labor.
Imaginary evils soon become real one by indulging our reflections on them.
It is not how much one makes but to what purpose one spends.
It is his restraint that is honorable to a person, not their liberty.
Beauty deprived of its proper foils and adjuncts ceases to be enjoyed as beauty, just as light deprived of all shadows ceases to be enjoyed as light.
An unimaginative person can neither be reverent or kind.
It is impossible, as impossible as to raise the dead, to restore anything that has ever been great or beautiful in architecture. That which I have insisted upon as the life of the whole, that spirit which is given only by the hand and eye of the workman, can never be recalled.
To know anything well involves a profound sensation of ignorance.
