It is written on the arched sky; it looks out from every star. It is the poetry of Nature; it is that which uplifts the spirit within us (John Ruskin Quotes)

Man's only true happiness is to live in hope of something to be won by him. Reverence something to be worshipped by him, and love something to be cherished by him, forever (John Ruskin Quotes)
Men cannot not live by exchanging articles, but producing them. They live by work not trade (John Ruskin Quotes)
Men don't and can't live by exchanging articles, but by producing them. They don't live by trade, but by work. Give up that foolish and vain title of Trades Unions; and take that of laborers Unions (John Ruskin Quotes)
