John Ruskin

“Quality is never an accident; it is always the result of intelligent effort.”

“There is no wealth but life.”

“When love and skill work together, expect a masterpiece.”

“Every great man is always being helped by everybody, for his gift is to get good out of all things and all persons.”

“Dream lofty dreams, and as you dream, so shall you become. Your vision is the promise of what you shall at last unveil.”

“You will find that the mere resolve not to be useless, and the honest desire to help other people, will, in the quickest and most delicate ways, improve yourself.”

“What we think or what we believe is, in the end, of little consequence. The only thing of consequence is what we do.”
