Unless we perform divine service with every willing act of our life, we never perform it at all.
John RuskinI do not mean to call an elephant a vulgar animal, but if you think about him carefully, you will find that his nonvulgarity consists in such gentleness as is possible to elephantine nature-not in his insensitive hide, nor in his clumsy foot, but in the way he will lift his foot if a child lies in his way; and in his sensitive trunk, and still more sensitive mind, and capability of pique on points of honor.
John RuskinThe strength and power of a country depends absolutely on the quantity of good men and women in it.
