No lying knight or lying priest ever prospered in any age, but especially not in the dark ones. Men prospered then only in following an openly declared purpose, and preaching candidly beloved and trusted creeds. – John Ruskin
Do not think of your faults, still less of others faults look for what is good and strong, and try to imitate it. Your faults will drop off, like dead leaves, when their time comes. – John Ruskin
