More quotes by John Ruskin
Value is the life-giving power of anything cost, the quantity of labour required to produce it its price, the quantity of labourwhich its possessor will take in exchange for it.
John Ruskin
Childhood often holds a truth with its feeble finger, which the grasp of manhood cannot retain,--which it is the pride of utmost age to recover.
John Ruskin
It is his restraint that is honorable to a person, not their liberty.
John Ruskin
It’s unwise to pay too much, but it’s worse to pay too little.
John Ruskin
No peace was ever won from fate by subterfuge or argument no peace is ever in store for any of us, but that which we shall win by victory over shame or sin--victory over the sin that oppresses, as well as over that which corrupts.
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
To be able to ask a question clearly is two-thirds of the way to getting it answered.
John Ruskin
All that we call ideal in Greek or any other art, because to us it is false and visionary, was, to the makers of it, true and existent.
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
There are no such things as Flowers there are only gladdened Leaves.
John Ruskin
Architecture is the art which so disposes and adorns the edifices raised by man, that the sight of them may contribute to his mental health, power, and pleasure.
John Ruskin
The strength and power of a country depends absolutely on the quantity of good men and women in it.
John Ruskin
Modern education has devoted itself to the teaching of impudence, and then we complain that we can no longer control our mobs.
John Ruskin
That man is always happy who is in the presence of something which he cannot know to the full, which he is always going on to know.
John Ruskin
When you pay too much, you lose a little money - that is all. When you pay too little, you sometimes lose everything, because the thing you bought is incapable of doing the thing it was bought to do.
John Ruskin
I believe that the first test of a great man is his humility. I don't mean by humility, doubt of his power. But really great men have a curious feeling that the greatness is not of them, but through them. And they see something divine in every other man and are endlessly, foolishly, incredibly merciful.
John Ruskin
There is a working class - strong and happy - among both rich and poor: there is an idle class - weak, wicked, and miserable - among both rich and poor.
John Ruskin
If we pretend to have reached either perfection or satisfaction, we have degraded ourselves and our work. God's work only may express that, but ours may never have that sentence written upon it, Behold it was very good.
John Ruskin
You should read books like you take medicine, by advice, and not by advertisement.
John Ruskin
The common practice of keeping up appearances with society is a mere selfish struggle of the vain with the vain.
John Ruskin
