John Ruskin
Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you.
A thing is worth precisely what it can do for you, not what you choose to pay for it.
The highest reward for man's toil is not what he gets for it, but what he becomes by it.
By hero, we tend to mean a heightened man who, more than other men, possesses qualities of courage, loyalty, resourcefulness, charisma, above all, selflessness. He is an example of right behavior; the sort of man who risks his life to protect his society's values, sacrificing his personal needs for those of the community.
To make your children capable of honesty is the beginning of education.
You will find that the mere resolve not to be useless, and the honest desire to help other people, will, in the quickest and delicatest ways, improve yourself.
Quality is never an accident; it is always the result of intelligent effort.
What we think, or what we know, or what we believe is, in the end, of little consequence. The only consequence is what we do.
