Reading a new author now, John Ruskin. He was an art critic / writer back in the 1800’s. I am reading “Unto this Last”
I don’t know where to start quoting, go out and read it. It’s probably 50 pages.
Here’s a sampling for now…
“Trite enough, –the reader thinks. Yes: but it is not so trite, — I wish it were, — that in this moral power, quite inscrutable and immeasurable though it be, there is a monetary value just as real as that represetned by more ponderous currencies. A man’s hand may be full of invisible gold, and the wave of it, or the grasp, shall do more than another’s with a shower of bullion. This invisible gold, also, does not necessarily diminish in spending. Political economists will do well some day to take heed of it, though they cannot take measure.”
