  • Some slaves are scoured to their work by whips, others by their restlessness and ambition.

  • Endurance is nobler than strength, and patience than beauty.

    John Ruskin, Christine Roth (2004). “The Two Paths”, p.88, Parlor Press LLC
  • There are, indeed, two forms of discontent: one laborious, the other indolent and complaining. We respect the man of laborious desire, but let us not suppose that his restlessness is peace, or his ambition meekness. It is because of the special connection of meekness with contentment that it is promised that the meek shall 'inherit the earth.' Neither covetous men, nor the grave, can inherit anything; they can but consume. Only contentment can possess.

    John Ruskin (1860). “Modern Painters: pt. 6. Of leaf beauty. pt. 7. Of Cloud beauty. pt. 8-9. Of ideas of relation”, p.343
