More quotes by John Ruskin
Repose demands for its expression the implied capability of its opposite,--energy.
John Ruskin
The noble grotesque involves the true appreciation of beauty.
John Ruskin
[For men] to feel their souls withering within them, unthanked, to find their whole being sunk into an unrecognized abyss, to be counted off into a heap of mechanism numbered with its wheels, and weighed with its hammer strokes - this, nature bade not, - this, God blesses not, - this, humanity for no long time is able to endure.
John Ruskin
There are many religions, but there is only one morality.
John Ruskin
To be able to ask a question clearly is two-thirds of the way to getting it answered.
John Ruskin
An infinitude of tenderness is the chief gift and inheritance of all truly great men.
John Ruskin
No day is without its innocent hope.
John Ruskin
There is material enough in a single flower for the ornament of a score of cathedrals.
John Ruskin
Nearly all the evils in the Church have arisen from bishops desiring power more than light. They want authority, not outlook.
John Ruskin
To know anything well involves a profound sensation of ignorance.
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
In mortals there is a care for trifles which proceeds from love and conscience, and is most holy and a care for trifles which comes of idleness and frivolity, and is most base. And so, also, there is a gravity proceeding from thought, which is most noble and a gravity proceeding from dulness and mere incapability of enjoyment, which is most base.
John Ruskin
The path of a good woman is indeed strewn with flowers but they rise behind her steps, not before them.
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
What we think or what we know or what we believe is in the end of little consequence. The only thing of consequence is what we do
John Ruskin
The common practice of keeping up appearances with society is a mere selfish struggle of the vain with the vain.
John Ruskin
No one can become rich by the efforts of only their toil, but only by the discovery of some method of taxing the labor of others.
John Ruskin
The relative majesty of buildings depends more on the weight and vigour of their masses than any other tribute of their design.
John Ruskin
The child who desires education will be bettered by it the child who dislikes it disgraced.
John Ruskin
No small misery is caused by overworked and unhappy people, in the dark views which they necessarily take up themselves, and force upon others, of work itself.
John Ruskin
