Ruskin:-

"We need examples of people who, leaving Heaven to decide, whether they are to rise in the world, decide for themselves that they well be happy in it, & have resolved to seek – not greater wealth, but simpler pleasure; not higher fortune, but deeper felicity; making the first of possessions, self-possession; & honouring themselves in the harmless pride & calm pursuits of peace." "Unto this Last." p 191
