John Ruskin
  • Sunshine is delicious, rain is refreshing, wind braces us up, snow is exhilarating there is really no such thing as bad weather, only different kinds of good weather.

  • 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.

  • An architect should live as little in cities as a painter. Send him to our hills, and let him study there what nature understands by a buttress, and what by a dome.

  • The sky is the part of creation in which nature has done for the sake of pleasing man.

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