John Ruskin Quotes

For As In Nothing Is A Gentleman Better To Be Discerned From A Vulgar Person, So In Nothing Is A Gentle Nation (such Nations Have Been) Better To Be Discerned From A Mob, Than In This, - That Their Feelings Are Constant And Just, Results Of Due Contemplation, And Of Equal Thought. You Can Talk A Mob Into Anything; Its Feelings May Be - Usually Are - On A Whole, Generous And Right; But It Has No Foundation For Them, No Hold Of Them; You May Tease Or Tickle It Into Any, At Your Pleasure; It Thinks By Infection, For The Most Part, Catching An Opinion Like A Cold, And There Is Nothing So Little That It Will Not Roar Itself Wild About, When The Fit Is On; Nothing So Great But It Will Forget In An Hour, When The Fit Is Past.
