“Man's only true happiness is to live in hope of something to be won by...” — John Ruskin Quote

“Man's only true happiness is to live in hope of something to be won by him. Reverence something to be worshipped by him, and love something to be cherished by him, forever.”

“To speak and act truth with constancy and precision is nearly as difficult, and perhaps as meretorious, as to speak it under intimidation or penalty”

“He who has truth at his heart need never fear the want of persuasion on his tongue.”

“Marriage becomes hard work once you have poured the entirety of your life’s expectations for happiness into the hands of one mere person. Keeping that going is hard work.”

“dear today,”

“I woke up the next morning with the sun blazing through my window. I groaned and made to pull my pillow over my head.”
