All JOHN RUSKIN Quotes about “Church”

“Nearly all the evils in the Church have arisen from bishops desiring power more than light. They want authority, not outlook.”
“It is not the church we want, but the sacrifice; not the emotion of admiration, but the act of adoration; not the gift, but the giving.”
