About this Quote

This quote by John Ruskin encourages us to concentrate on the positive elements of ourselves and others, instead of residence on our own or other's faults. He suggests that by looking for what is excellent and strong in ourselves and others, and attempting to imitate it, our own faults will ultimately fall away. This is a tip that we should not be too hard on ourselves or others, which our faults will eventually be shed, like dead leaves, when the time is right. It is a pointer to concentrate on the positive and to strive to be our best selves. By doing this, we can end up being the very best versions of ourselves and be a favorable impact on those around us.
