More quotes by John Ruskin
How false is the conception, how frantic the pursuit, of that treacherous phantom which men call Liberty.
John Ruskin
When men are rightly occupied, their amusement grows out of their work.
John Ruskin
It is impossible to tell you the perfect sweetness of the lips and closed eyes, nor the solemnity of the seal of death which is set upon the whole figure. It is, in every way, perfect--truth itself, but truth selected with inconceivable refinement of feeling.
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
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
The step between practical and theoretic science, is the step between the miner and the geologist, the apocathecary and the chemist.
John Ruskin
The distinguishing sign of slavery is to have a price, and to be bought for it.
John Ruskin
There's no music in rest, but there's the making of music in it. And people are always missing that part of the life melody, always talking of perseverance and courage and fortitude but patience is the finest and worthiest part of fortitude, and the rarest, too.
John Ruskin
No amount of pay ever made a good soldier, a good teacher, a good artist, or a good workman.
John Ruskin
Our purity of taste is best tested by its universality, for if we can only admire this thing or that, we maybe use that our cause for liking is of a finite and false nature.
John Ruskin
Nothing can be true which is either complete or vacant every touch is false which does not suggest more than it represents, and every space is false which represents nothing.
John Ruskin
When love and skill work together, expect a masterpiece.
John Ruskin
Race is precisely of as much consequence in man as it is in any animal.
John Ruskin
You should read books like you take medicine, by advice, and not by advertisement.
John Ruskin
Every noble life leaves the fibre of it interwoven forever in the work of the world.
John Ruskin
Fit yourself for the best society, and then, never enter it.
John Ruskin
A forest of all manner of trees is poor, if not disagreeable, in effect a mass of one species of tree is sublime.
John Ruskin
Drunkenness is not only the cause of crime, but it is crime and if any encourage drunkenness for the sake of the profit derived from the sale of drink, they are guilty of a form of moral assassination as criminal as any that has ever been practiced by the braves of any country or of any age.
John Ruskin
Temperance, in the nobler sense, does not mean a subdued and imperfect energy it does not mean a stopping short in any good thing, as in love and in faith but it means the power which governs the most intense energy, and prevents its acting in way but as it ought.
John Ruskin
... the weakest among us has a gift, however seemingly trivial, which is peculiar to him, and which, worthily used, will be a gift also to his race forever.
John Ruskin
