More quotes by John Ruskin
There are many religions, but there is only one morality.
John Ruskin
All great song, from the first day when human lips contrived syllables, has been sincere song.
John Ruskin
The enormous influence of novelty--the way in which it quickens observations, sharpens sensations, and exalts sentiment--is not half enough taken note of by us, and is to me a very sorrowful matter. And yet, if we try to obtain perpetual change, change itself will become monotonous.
John Ruskin
It is in this power of saying everything, and yet saying nothing too plainly, that the perfection of art consists.
John Ruskin
No divine terror will ever be found in the work of the man who wastes a colossal strength in elaborating toys for the first lesson that terror is sent to teach us is, the value of the human soul, and the shortness of mortal time.
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
Milton saw not, and Beethoven heard not, but the sense of beauty was upon them, and they fain must speak.
John Ruskin
Depend upon it, the first universal characteristic of all great art is Tenderness, as the second is Truth.
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
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
No day is without its innocent hope.
John Ruskin
He who can take no interest in what is small will take false interest in what is great.
John Ruskin
Science has to do with facts, art with phenomena. To science, phenomena are of use only as they lead to facts and to art, facts are of use only as they lead to phenomena.
John Ruskin
In all things that live there are certain irregularities, and deficiencies which are not only signs of life, but sources of beauty. No human face is exactly the same in its lines on each side, no leaf perfect in its lobes, no branch in its symmetry.
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
Never has interest in art been so high, and never has quality been so low.
John Ruskin
It is among children only, and as children only, that you will find medicine for your healing and true wisdom for your teaching.
John Ruskin
In every person who comes near you look for what is good and strong.
John Ruskin
Your labor only may be sold, your soul must not.
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
