Drawn from what John Ruskin said
What John Ruskin actually said
- John Ruskin English art critic and social thinker (1819 to 1900)
I may, however, anticipate future conclusions so far as to state that in a community regulated only by laws of demand and supply, but protected from open violence, the persons who become rich are, generally speaking, industrious, resolute, proud, covetous, prompt, methodical, sensible, unimaginative, insensitive, and ignorant.
