I found the quote of the day amusing and decided to look up Mr Ruskin,
No person who is not a great sculptor or painter can be an architect. If he is not a sculptor or painter, he can only be a builder. [John Ruskin]
Check this out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Ruskin

It illustrates the point that it is error to measure a man by his weakness or his works alone...
