Modern traveling is not traveling at all; it is merely being sent to a place, and very little different from becoming a parcel.

To banish imperfection is to destroy expression, to check exertion, to paralyze vitality.
John RuskinIn order that people may be happy in their work,
these three things are needed:
they must be fit for it;
they must not do too much of it;
and they must have a sense of success in it.
Nature is painting for us, day after day, pictures of infinite beauty if only we have the eyes to see them.
John RuskinImaginary evils soon become real ones by indulging our reflections on them.
John RuskinA thing of worth is what it can do for you, not what you choose to pay for it.
John RuskinThe greatest thing a human soul ever does in this world is to see something and what it saw in a plain way. To see clearly is poetry, prophecy and religion--all in one.

Perhaps some of my hearers this evening may have occasionally heard it stated of me that I am rather apt to contradict myself. I hope I am exceedingly apt to do so. I never met wth a question yet, of any importance, which did not need, for the right solution of it, at least one positive and one negative answer, like an equation of the second degree. Mostly, matters of any consequence are three-sided, or four-sided, or polygonal; and the trotting round a polygon is severe work for people any way stiff in their opinions. For myself, I am never satisfied that I have handled a subject properly till I have contradicted myself at least three times: but once must do for this evening.
John RuskinNothing is ever done beautifully which is done
in rival ship: or nobly, which is done in pride.
