More quotes by 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
Unless we perform divine service with every willing act of our life, we never perform it at all.
John Ruskin
Greater completion marks the progress of art, absolute completion usually its decline.
John Ruskin
Music when healthy, is the teacher of perfect order, and when depraved, the teacher of perfect disorder.
John Ruskin
I am far more provoked at being thought foolish by foolish people, than pleased at being thought sensible by sensible people and the average proportion of the numbers of each is not to my advantage.
John Ruskin
The higher a man stands, the more the word vulgar becomes unintelligible to him.
John Ruskin
He who has truth at his heart need never fear the want of persuasion on his tongue.
John Ruskin
It is his restraint that is honorable to a person, not their liberty.
John Ruskin
It is among children only, and as children only, that you will find medicine for your healing and true wisdom for your teaching.
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
You cannot get anything out of nature or from God by gambling only out of your neighbor.
John Ruskin
There is nothing so great or so goodly in creation, but that it is a mean symbol of the gospel of Christ, and of the things He has prepared for them that love Him.
John Ruskin
Surely our clergy need not be surprised at the daily increasing distrust in the public mind of the efficacy of prayer.
John Ruskin
In old times men used their powers of painting to show the objects of faith, in later times they use the objects of faith to show their powers of painting.
John Ruskin
Many thoughts are so dependent upon the language in which they are clothed that they would lose half their beauty if otherwise expressed.
John Ruskin
They are the weakest-minded and the hardest-hearted men that most love change.
John Ruskin
It is a good and safe rule to sojourn in every place as if you meant to spend your life there, never omitting an opportunity of doing a kindness, or speaking a true word, or making a friend.
John Ruskin
Every human action gains in honor, in grace, in all true magnificence, by its regard to things that are to come. It is the far sight, the quiet and confident patience, that, above all other attributes, separate man from man, and near him to his Maker and there is no action nor art, whose majesty we may not measure by this test.
John Ruskin
There was always more in the world than men could see, walked they ever so slowly they will see it no better for going fast. The really precious things are thought and sight, not pace.
John Ruskin
Painting with all its technicalities, difficulties, and peculiar ends, is nothing but a noble and expressive language, invaluable as the vehicle of thought, but by itself nothing.
John Ruskin
