More quotes by John Ruskin
When men do not love their hearth, nor reverence their thresholds, it is a sign that they have dishonoured both ... Our God is a house-hold God, as well as a heavenly one He has an altar in every man's dwelling.
John Ruskin
The Training which Makes Men Happiest in themselves ... also Makes Them Most Serviceable to Others
John Ruskin
Though nature is constantly beautiful, she does not exhibit her highest powers of beauty constantly, for then they would satiate us and pall upon our senses. It is necessary to their appreciation that they should be rarely shown. Her finest touches are things which must be watched for her most perfect passages of beauty are the most evanescent.
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
Science deals exclusively with things as they are in themselves.
John Ruskin
The object of true education is to make people not merely do the right things, but enjoy them
John Ruskin
He who has truth at his heart need never fear the want of persuasion on his tongue.
John Ruskin
All traveling becomes dull in exact proportion to its rapidity.
John Ruskin
A nation which lives a pastoral and innocent life never decorates the shepherd's staff or the plough-handle but races who live by depredation and slaughter nearly always bestow exquisite ornaments on the quiver, the helmet, and the spear.
John Ruskin
In general, pride is at the bottom of all great mistakes.
John Ruskin
It is strange that of all the pieces of the Bible which my mother taught me, that which cost me the most to learn, and which was to my childish mind the most repulsive - Psalm 119 - has now become of all the most precious to me in its overflowing and glorious passion of love for the Law of God.
John Ruskin
The sculptor must paint with his chisel half his touches are not to realize, but to put power into, the form. They are touches of light and shadow, and raise a ridge, or sink a hollow, not to represent an actual ridge or hollow, but to get a line of light, or a spot of darkness.
John Ruskin
If a great thing can be done, it can be done easily, but this ease is like the of ease of a tree blossoming after long years of gathering strength.
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
Music when healthy, is the teacher of perfect order, and when depraved, the teacher of perfect disorder.
John Ruskin
All true opinions are living, and show their life by being capable of nourishment therefore of change. But their change is that of a tree not of a cloud.
John Ruskin
Every great man is always being helped by everybody, for his gift is to get good out of all things and all persons.
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
To do your own work well, whether it be for life or death.
John Ruskin
Of human work none but what is bad can be perfect in its own bad way.
John Ruskin
