More quotes by John Ruskin
Let us reform our schools, and we shall find little reform needed in our prisons.
John Ruskin
Without mountains the air could not be purified, nor the flowing of the rivers sustained.
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
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
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
Life is a magic vase filled to the brim, so made that you cannot dip from it nor draw from it but it overflows into the hand that drops treasures into it. Drop in malice and it overflows hate drop in charity and it overflows love.
John Ruskin
If the thing is impossible, you need not trouble yourselves about it if possible, try for it.
John Ruskin
Other men used their effete faiths and mean faculties with a high moral purpose. The Venetian gave the most earnest faith, and the lordliest faculty, to gild the shadows of an antechamber, or heighten the splendours of a holiday.
John Ruskin
There was a rocky valley between Buxton and Bakewell?divine as the vale of Tempe you might have seen the gods there morning and eveningApollo and the sweet Muses of the Light? You enterprised a railroad?you blasted its rocks away? And, now, every fool in Buxton can be at Bakewell in half-an-hour, and every fool in Bakewell at Buxton.
John Ruskin
Not without design does God write the music of our lives.
John Ruskin
You do not see with the lens of the eye. You seen through that, and by means of that, but you see with the soul of the eye.
John Ruskin
Education is the leading of human souls to what is best, and making what is best out of them.
John Ruskin
In health of mind and body, men should see with their own eyes, hear and speak without trumpets, walk on their feet, not on wheels, and work and war with their arms, not with engine-beams, nor rifles warranted to kill twenty men at a shot before you can see them.
John Ruskin
Some slaves are scoured to their work by whips, others by their restlessness and ambition.
John Ruskin
So long as we see the stones and joints, and are not deceived as to the points of support in any piece of architecture, we may rather praise than regret the dexterous artifices which compel us to feel as if there were fibre in its shafts and life in its branches.
John Ruskin
Men cannot not live by exchanging articles, but producing them. They live by work not trade.
John Ruskin
All of one's life is music, if one touches the notes rightly, and in time.
John Ruskin
Whether we force the man's property from him by pinching his stomach, or pinching his fingers, makes some difference anatomically morally, none whatsoever.
John Ruskin
Your honesty is not to be based either on religion or policy.Bothyourreligionand policy must be basedon it.
John Ruskin
It is better to lose your pride with someone you love rather than to lose that someone you love with your useless pride.
John Ruskin
