...whole exhibition offers an unusually comprehensive view of the work of this brilliant and erratic artist-writer on the side not generally so well known. Ruskin was primarily a writer, and he almost never attempted to make a real picture from the artist's point of view. His drawings in this collection, therefore, are in many cases mere studies, some very slight, mere notes with a pencil, some with bits of wash or color in places, others highly finished in wash or color though hardly any really complete...
Liberty, Equality and Democracy are all means mistaken for ends. Liberty, which will be considered first, is of two distinct kinds: real liberty and legal liberty. The former is the kind that is of the greatest interest to men. Laws decrease legal liberty but increase real liberty.

I need go no further than Harvard itself, and you will see how powerful has been the impression of its professors upon the outside world. My own experience in Cleveland, some years ago, when as a lawyer, I became interested in civic affairs, confirms this most strongly. Professors may be theoretical, but it is largely by reason of the fact that they are unhampered by many of the things that hamper men in other relations of life, that...
...jaws, both of which are apt to give exquisite pain. It is much to say of any profession that it reduces the amount or the intensity of human pain, for pain is an unmixed evil, and whoever abates it for multitudes or for one individual, is a real benefactor. As life advances, dentistry is able to repair the loss of teeth caused by wear, accident, and disease; that is, dentistry can supply artificial teeth singly, in groups, or in sets, and by doing so can check or in part prevent the dilapidation of the human countenance by age, and provide...
