John Ruskin

Peace, Home, Doubt

John Ruskin (2006). “Sesame and Lillies: Three Lectures”, p.116, Cosimo, Inc.

When men do not love their hearth, nor reverence their thresholds, it is a sign that they have dishonoured both ... Our God is a house-hold God, as well as a heavenly one; He has an altar in every man's dwelling.

John Ruskin

Home, Men, Dwelling

John Ruskin (1871). “Selections from the Writings of John Ruskin”, p.340

If men lived like men indeed, their houses would be temples -- temples which we should hardly dare to injure, and in which it would make us holy to be permitted to live; and there must be a strange dissolution of natural affection, a strange unthankfulness for all that homes have given and parents taught, a strange consciousness that we have been unfaithful to our fathers honor, or that our own lives are not such as would make our dwellings sacred to our children, when each man would fain build to himself, and build for the little revolution of his own life only.

John Ruskin

Children, Father, Home
