Quote by John Ruskin

Nothing is ever done beautifully which is done in rivalship: or nobly, which is done in pride.

Nothing is ever done beautifully which is done in rivalship:

Summary

This quote suggests that true beauty and nobility cannot exist when driven by rivalry or pride. When actions are fueled by a desire to outdo others or prove oneself superior, the result is unlikely to be genuinely beautiful or noble.

The quote highlights the importance of intention and mindset in achieving true beauty and nobility in our actions.

To be the father of growing daughters is to understand something of what Yeats evokes with his imperishable phrase 'terrible beauty.' Nothing can make one so happily exhilarated or so frightened: it's a solid lesson in the limitations of self to realize that your heart is running around inside someone else's body.
