More quotes by John Ruskin

John Ruskin
That country is the richest which nourishes the greatest number of noble and happy human beings.
John Ruskin
The Divine mind is as visible in its full energy of operation on every lowly bank and mouldering stone as in the lifting of the pillars of heaven, and settling the foundation of the earth.
John Ruskin
Remember always, in painting as in eloquence, the greater your strength, the quieter will be your manner, and the fewer your words and in painting, as in all the arts and acts of life the secret of high success will be found, not in a fretful and various excellence, but in a quiet singleness of justly chosen aim.
John Ruskin

John Ruskin
The highest reward for a person's toil is not what they get for it, but what they become by it.

John Ruskin
Living without an aim, is like sailing without a compass.
John Ruskin
Such help as we can give to each other in this world is a debt to each other and the man who perceives a superiority or a capacity in a subordinate, and neither confesses nor assists it, is not merely the withholder of kindness, but the committer of injury.
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
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
The principle of all successful effort is to try to do not what is absolutely the best, but what is easily within our power, and suited for our temperament and condition.
John Ruskin
Quality is never an accident. It is always the result of intelligent effort.
John Ruskin
The first duty of government is to see that people have food, fuel, and clothes. The second, that they have means of moral and intellectual education.
John Ruskin
All traveling becomes dull in exact proportion to its rapidity.
John Ruskin
Let us reform our schools, and we shall find little reform needed in our prisons.
John Ruskin
Every increased possession loads us with a new weariness.
John Ruskin
When God shuts a door, He opens a window.
John Ruskin
