More quotes by 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
He is the greatest artist who has embodied, in the sum of his works, the greatest number of the greatest ideas.
John Ruskin
Education is the leading of human souls to what is best, and making what is best out of them.
John Ruskin
That which is required in order to the attainment of accurate conclusions respecting the essence of the Beautiful is nothing morethan earnest, loving, and unselfish attention to our impressions of it.
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
The Divine mind is as visible in its full energy of operation on every lowly bank and mouldering stone as in the lifting of the pillars of heaven, and settling the foundation of the earth.
John Ruskin
Genius is only a superior power of seeing.
John Ruskin
A forest of all manner of trees is poor, if not disagreeable, in effect a mass of one species of tree is sublime.
John Ruskin
It is not, truly speaking, the labour that is divided but the men: divided into mere segments of men - broken into small fragments and crumbs of life, so that all the little piece of intelligence that is left in a man is not enough to make a pin, or a nail, but exhausts itself in making the point of a pin or the head of a nail.
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
We must note carefully what distinction there is between a healthy and a diseased love of change for as it was in healthy love of change that the Gothic architecture rose, it was partly in consequence of diseased love of change that it was destroyed.
John Ruskin
God gives us always strength enough, and sense enough, for what He wants us to do if we either tire ourselves or puzzle ourselves, it is our own fault.
John Ruskin
Science studies the relations of things to each other: but art studies only their relations to man.
John Ruskin
The finer the nature, the more flaws it will show through the clearness of it and it is a law of this universe that the best things shall be seldomest seen in their best form.
John Ruskin
Some slaves are scoured to their work by whips, others by their restlessness and ambition.
John Ruskin
Death is not a journey into an unknown land it is a voyage home. We are going, not to a strange country, but to our fathers house.
John Ruskin
Without mountains the air could not be purified, nor the flowing of the rivers sustained.
John Ruskin
Pleasure comes through toil, and not by self indulgence and indolence. When one gets to love work, his life is a happy one.
John Ruskin
If a book is worth reading, it is worth buying.
John Ruskin
People are eternally divided into two classes, the believer, builder, and praiser...and the unbeliever, destroyer and critic.
John Ruskin
