John Ruskin
  • The first duty of government is to see that people have food, fuel, and clothes. The second, that they have means of moral and intellectual education.

  • To make your children capable of honesty is the beginning of education.

  • Education is the leading of human souls to what is best, and making what is best out of them.

  • Modern education has devoted itself to the teaching of impudence, and then we complain that we can no longer control our mobs.

  • The first condition of education is being able to put someone to wholesome and meaningful work.
