What John Ruskin says most about
empathy 2
- For now luxury can be enjoyed only by those ignorant of the suffering behind it
- Political economy that ignores social affection is perhaps the most curious and least creditable delusion
happiness 2
- There is no wealth but life, and the richest country nourishes the most noble and happy people
- The true end of wealth may be producing as many healthy, happy people as possible
