More quotes by John Ruskin
Ship of the line is the most honourable thing that man, as a gregarious animal, has ever produced.
John Ruskin
There is nothing that this age, from whatever standpoint we survey it, needs more, physically, intellectually, and morally, than thorough ventilation.
John Ruskin
We were not sent into this world to do anything into which we cannot put our hearts.
John Ruskin
Expression, sentiment, truth to nature, are essential: but all those are not enough. I never care to look at a picture again, if it be ill composed and if well composed I can hardly leave off looking at it.
John Ruskin
The greatest thing a human soul ever does in this world is to see something and tell what it saw in a plain way. Hundreds of people can talk for one who can think, but thousands can think for one who can see. To see clearly is poetry, prophecy and religion, all in one.
John Ruskin
Without the perfect sympathy with the animals around them, no gentleman's education, no Christian education, could be of any possible use.
John Ruskin
There's no music in rest, but there's the making of music in it. And people are always missing that part of the life melody, always talking of perseverance and courage and fortitude but patience is the finest and worthiest part of fortitude, and the rarest, too.
John Ruskin
Once thoroughly our own, the knowledge ceases to give us pleasure.
John Ruskin
To speak and act truth with constancy and precision is nearly as difficult, and perhaps as meretorious, as to speak it under intimidation or penalty
John Ruskin
Why is one man richer than another? Because he is more industrious, more persevering and more sagacious.
John Ruskin
English artists are usually entirely ruined by residence in Italy.
John Ruskin
Do not think of your faults, still less of other's faults look for what is good and strong, and try to imitate it. Your faults will drop off, like dead leaves, when their time comes.
John Ruskin
It is strange that of all the pieces of the Bible which my mother taught me, that which cost me the most to learn, and which was to my childish mind the most repulsive - Psalm 119 - has now become of all the most precious to me in its overflowing and glorious passion of love for the Law of God.
John Ruskin
It is his restraint that is honorable to a person, not their liberty.
John Ruskin
Work first and then rest. Work first, and then gaze, but do not use golden ploughshares, nor bind ledgers in enamel.
John Ruskin
That man is always happy who is in the presence of something which he cannot know to the full, which he is always going on to know.
John Ruskin
Men have commonly more pleasure in the criticism which hurts than in that which is innocuous, and are more tolerant of the severity which breaks hearts and ruins fortunes than of that which falls impotently on the grave.
John Ruskin
It is better to lose your pride with someone you love rather than to lose that someone you love with your useless pride.
John Ruskin
The truth of Nature is a part of the truth of God to him who does not search it out, darkness to him who does, infinity.
John Ruskin
We may, without offending any laws of good taste, require of an architect, as we do of a novelist, that he should be not only correct, but entertaining.
John Ruskin
