More quotes by John Ruskin
I will not kill or hurt any living creature needlessly, nor destroy any beautiful thing, but will strive to save and comfort all gentle life, and guard and perfect all natural beauty upon the earth.
John Ruskin
In one point of view, Gothic is not only the best, but the only rational architecture, as being that which can fit itself most easily to all services, vulgar or noble.
John Ruskin
He is the greatest artist who has embodied, in the sum of his works, the greatest number of the greatest ideas.
John Ruskin
There is rough work to be done, and rough men must do it there is gentle work to be done, and gentlemen must do it.
John Ruskin
Every duty we omit obscures some truth we should have known.
John Ruskin
He who can take no interest in what is small will take false interest in what is great.
John Ruskin
Nature is painting for us, day after day, pictures of infinite beauty.
John Ruskin
Nothing can be true which is either complete or vacant every touch is false which does not suggest more than it represents, and every space is false which represents nothing.
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 of our own weight.
John Ruskin
Books are divided into two classes, the books of the hour and the books of all time.
John Ruskin
Though you may have known clever men who were indolent, you never knew a great man who was so and when I hear a young man spoken of as giving promise of great genius, the first question I ask about him always is, Does he work?
John Ruskin
Do not think it wasted time to submit yourselves to any influence which may bring upon you any noble feeling.
John Ruskin
If some people really see angels where others see only empty space, let them paint the angels: only let not anybody else think they can paint an angel too, on any calculated principles of the angelic.
John Ruskin
Painting with all its technicalities, difficulties, and peculiar ends, is nothing but a noble and expressive language, invaluable as the vehicle of thought, but by itself nothing.
John Ruskin
When love and skill work together, expect a masterpiece.
John Ruskin
Race is precisely of as much consequence in man as it is in any animal.
John Ruskin
High art consists neither in altering, nor in improving nature but in seeking throughout nature for 'whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are pure' in loving these, in displaying to the utmost of the painter's power such loveliness as is in them, and directing the thoughts of others to them by winning art, or gentle emphasis.
John Ruskin
No day is without its innocent hope.
John Ruskin
Whenever I did anything wrong, stupid or hard-hearted, and I have done many things that were all three, my mother always said it is because you were too much indulged.
John Ruskin
We have seen when the earth had to be prepared for the habitation of man, a veil, as it were, of intermediate being was spread between him and its darkness, in which were joined in a subdued measure, the stability and insensibility of the earth, and the passion and perishing of mankind.
John Ruskin
