More quotes by John Ruskin
I cannot but think it an evil sign of a people when their houses are built to last for one generation only.
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
Conceit may puff a man up, but never prop him up.
John Ruskin
In great countries, children are always trying to remain children, and the parents want to make them into adults. In vile countries, the children are always wanting to be adults and the parents want to keep them children.
John Ruskin
The imagination is never governed, it is always the ruling and divine power.
John Ruskin
The infinity of God is not mysterious, it is only unfathomable not concealed, but incomprehensible it is a clear infinity, the darkness of the pure unsearchable sea.
John Ruskin
To know anything well involves a profound sensation of ignorance.
John Ruskin
The truths of nature are one eternal change, one infinite variety. There is no bush on the face of the globe exactly like another bush there are no two trees in the forest whose boughs bend into the same network, nor two leaves on the same tree which could not be told one from the other, nor two waves in the sea exactly alike.
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
All traveling becomes dull in exact proportion to its rapidity.
John Ruskin
Without mountains the air could not be purified, nor the flowing of the rivers sustained.
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
Ignorance, which is contented and clumsy, will produce what is imperfect, but not offensive. But ignorance dis contented and dexterous, learning what it cannot understand, and imitating what it cannot enjoy, produces the most loathsome forms of manufacture that can disgrace or mislead humanity.
John Ruskin
Ship of the line is the most honourable thing that man, as a gregarious animal, has ever produced.
John Ruskin
Every noble life leaves the fibre of it interwoven forever in the work of the world.
John Ruskin
Such help as we can give to each other in this world is a debt to each other and the man who perceives a superiority or a capacity in a subordinate, and neither confesses nor assists it, is not merely the withholder of kindness, but the committer of injury.
John Ruskin
Skill is the unified force of experience, intellect and passion in their operation.
John Ruskin
In every person who comes near you look for what is good and strong.
John Ruskin
I am almost sick and giddy with the quantity of things in my head, all tempting and wanting to be worked out.
John Ruskin
When God shuts a door, He opens a window.
John Ruskin
