John Ruskin
Peace, Winning, Evil
John Ruskin (2015). “The Two Paths”, p.160, John Ruskin

No peace was ever won from fate by subterfuge or argument; no peace is ever in store for any of us, but that which we shall win by victory over shame or sin--victory over the sin that oppresses, as well as over that which corrupts.

John Ruskin
Peace, Fate, Winning

The proof of a thing's being right is that it has power over the heart; that it excites us, wins us, or helps us.

John Ruskin
Heart, Winning, Helping
John Ruskin (2015). “Lectures on Architecture and Painting”, p.12, John Ruskin

High art consists neither in altering, nor in improving nature; but in seeking throughout nature for 'whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are pure;' in loving these, in displaying to the utmost of the painter's power such loveliness as is in them, and directing the thoughts of others to them by winning art, or gentle emphasis.

John Ruskin
Art, Winning, Lovely
John Ruskin (1859). “Modern Painters: (pt.4) Modern painters of many things”, p.35
