More quotes by John Ruskin
Morality does not depend on religion.
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
It is not the weariness of mortality, but the strength of divinity, which we have to recognize in all mighty things and that is just what we now never recognize, but think that we are to do great things by help of iron bars and perspiration. Alas! we shall do nothing that way but lose some pounds of our own weight.
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
You may chisel a boy into shape, as you would a rock, or hammer him into it, if he be of a better kind, as you would a piece of bronze. But you cannot hammer a girl into anything. She grows as a flower does.
John Ruskin
Modern education has devoted itself to the teaching of impudence, and then we complain that we can no longer control our mobs.
John Ruskin
Every increased possession loads us with a new weariness.
John Ruskin
That man is always happy who is in the presence of something which he cannot know to the full, which he is always going on to know.
John Ruskin
As in the instances of alchemy, astrology, witchcraft, and other such popular creeds, political economy, has a plausible idea at the root of it.
John Ruskin
Education is the leading of human souls to what is best, and making what is best out of them.
John Ruskin
It is not how much one makes but to what purpose one spends.
John Ruskin
No amount of pay ever made a good soldier, a good teacher, a good artist, or a good workman.
John Ruskin
The plea of ignorance will never take away our responsibilities.
John Ruskin
Greater completion marks the progress of art, absolute completion usually its decline.
John Ruskin
Remember that the most beautiful things in the world are the most useless peacocks and lilies for instance.
John Ruskin
The very cheapness of literature is making even wise people forget that if a book is worth reading, it is worth buying. No book is worth anything which is not worth much nor is it serviceable, until it has been read, and re-read, and loved, and loved again and marked, so that you can refer to the passages you want in it.
John Ruskin
Genius is only a superior power of seeing.
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
Milton saw not, and Beethoven heard not, but the sense of beauty was upon them, and they fain must speak.
John Ruskin
Cookery means…English thoroughness, French art, and Arabian hospitality it means the knowledge of all fruits and herbs and balms and spices it means carefulness, inventiveness, and watchfulness.
John Ruskin
