We are, after all, only trustees of the wealth we possess. Without the community and its resources... there would be little wealth for anyone.
John RuskinIt does not matter what the whip is; it is none the less a whip, because you have cut thongs for it out of your own souls.
John RuskinIt is better to lose your pride with someone you love rather than to lose that someone you love with your useless pride.
John RuskinNow the basest thought possible concerning man is, that he has no spiritual nature; and the foolishest misunderstanding of him possible is, that he has, or should have, no animal nature. For his nature is nobly animal, nobly spiritual,--coherently and irrevocably so; neither part of it may, but at its peril, expel, despise, or defy the other.
