Alas Quote by John Ruskin

“It is not the weariness of mortality, but the strength of divinity, which we have to recognize in all mighty things; and that is just what we now never recognize, but think that we are to do great things by help of iron bars and perspiration. Alas! we shall do nothing that way but lose some pounds…” quote by John Ruskin

Alas! we shall do nothing that way but lose some pounds of our own weight.”
