More quotes by John Ruskin
No human being, however great, or powerful, was ever so free as a fish.
John Ruskin
The higher a man stands, the more the word vulgar becomes unintelligible to him.
John Ruskin
They are the weakest-minded and the hardest-hearted men that most love change.
John Ruskin
It is a strange thing how little in general people know about the sky. It is the part of creation in which nature has done more for the sake of pleasing man.
John Ruskin
Ship of the line is the most honourable thing that man, as a gregarious animal, has ever produced.
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
Skill is the unified force of experience, intellect and passion in their operation.
John Ruskin
To know anything well involves a profound sensation of ignorance.
John Ruskin
All traveling becomes dull in exact proportion to its rapidity.
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
Education is the leading human souls to what is best, and making what is best out of them and these two objects are always attainable together, and by the same means the training which makes man happiest in themselves also makes them most serviceable to others.
John Ruskin
Though you may have known clever men who were indolent, you never knew a great man who was so and when I hear a young man spoken of as giving promise of great genius, the first question I ask about him always is, Does he work?
John Ruskin
The history of humanity is not the history of its wars, but the history of its households.
John Ruskin
All you have really to do is to keep your back as straight as you can and not think about what is upon it. The real and essential meaning of virtue is that straightness of back.
John Ruskin
He who has truth at his heart need never fear the want of persuasion on his tongue.
John Ruskin
The greatest efforts of the race have always been traceable to the love of praise, as the greatest catastrophes to the love of pleasure.
John Ruskin
In every person who comes near you look for what is good and strong.
John Ruskin
In order that people may be happy in their work, these three things are needed: They must be fit for it. They must not do too much of it. And they must have a sense of success in it.
John Ruskin
I wish they would use English instead of Greek words. When I want to know why a leaf is green, they tell me it is coloured by chlorophyll, which at first sounds very instructive but if they would only say plainly that a leaf is coloured green by a thing which is called green leaf, we should see more precisely how far we had got.
John Ruskin
Greatness is not a teachable nor gainable thing, but the expression of the mind of a God-made great man.
John Ruskin
