More quotes by John Ruskin
It is far better to give work that is above a person, than to educate the person to be above their work.
John Ruskin
In painting as in eloquence, the greater your strength, the quieter your manner.
John Ruskin
The imagination is never governed, it is always the ruling and divine power.
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
Skill is the unified force of experience, intellect and passion in their operation.
John Ruskin
The noble grotesque involves the true appreciation of beauty.
John Ruskin
All of one's life is music, if one touches the notes rightly, and in time.
John Ruskin
It’s unwise to pay too much, but it’s worse to pay too little.
John Ruskin
The proof of a thing's being right is that it has power over the heart that it excites us, wins us, or helps us.
John Ruskin
Nature is painting for us, day after day, pictures of infinite beauty.
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
No small misery is caused by overworked and unhappy people, in the dark views which they necessarily take up themselves, and force upon others, of work itself.
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
Every noble life leaves the fibre of it interwoven forever in the work of the world.
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
They are the weakest-minded and the hardest-hearted men that most love change.
John Ruskin
He who is not actively kind is cruel!
John Ruskin
Production does not consist in things laboriously made, but in things serviceably consumable and the question for the nation is not how much labour it employs, but how much life it produces.
John Ruskin
Unless we perform divine service with every willing act of our life, we never perform it at all.
John Ruskin
Cursing is invoking the assistance of a spirit to help you inflict suffering. Swearing on the other hand, is invoking, only the witness of a spirit to an statement you wish to make.
John Ruskin
