QUOTE (John Ruskin) – Feb 8

“I believe that the first test of a great man is his humility. I don’t mean by humility, doubt of his power. But really great men have a curious feeling that the greatness is not of them, but through them. And they see something divine in every other man and are endlessly, foolishly, incredibly merciful.”
― John Ruskin

In honor of John Ruskin, the leading English art critic of the Victorian era, who was born on this day in 1819.
