More quotes by John Ruskin
Mighty of heart, mighty of mind, magnanimous-to be this is indeed to be great in life.
John Ruskin
The object of true education is to make people not merely do the right things, but enjoy them
John Ruskin
In my house there is no attempt whatever to secure harmonies of colour, or form, or furniture.... I am entirely independent for daily happiness upon the sensual qualities of form or colour-when I want them I take them either from the sky or from the fields.
John Ruskin
There is never vulgarity in a whole truth, however commonplace. It may be unimportant or painful. It cannot be vulgar. Vulgarity is only in concealment of truth, or in affectation.
John Ruskin
It is excellent discipline for an author to feel that he must say all that he has to say in the fewest possible words, or his readers is sure to skip them.
John Ruskin
That country is the richest which nourishes the greatest number of noble and happy human beings.
John Ruskin
Conceit may puff a man up, but never prop him up.
John Ruskin
The wisest men are wise to the full in death.
John Ruskin
Other men used their effete faiths and mean faculties with a high moral purpose. The Venetian gave the most earnest faith, and the lordliest faculty, to gild the shadows of an antechamber, or heighten the splendours of a holiday.
John Ruskin
The first test of a truly great man is his humility. By humility I don't mean doubt of his powers or hesitation in speaking his opinion, but merely an understanding of the relationship of what he can say and what he can do.
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
Race is precisely of as much consequence in man as it is in any animal.
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
You may sell your work, but not your soul.
John Ruskin
Whether we force the man's property from him by pinching his stomach, or pinching his fingers, makes some difference anatomically morally, none whatsoever.
John Ruskin
No peace was ever won from fate by subterfuge or argument no peace is ever in store for any of us, but that which we shall win by victory over shame or sin--victory over the sin that oppresses, as well as over that which corrupts.
John Ruskin
There is nothing so great or so goodly in creation, but that it is a mean symbol of the gospel of Christ, and of the things He has prepared for them that love Him.
John Ruskin
It is a matter of the simplest demonstration, that no man can be really appreciated but by his equal or superior.
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
How long most people would look at the best book before they would give the price of a large turbot for it?
John Ruskin
