More quotes by 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
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
If you want knowledge, you must toil for it if food, you must toil for it and if pleasure, you must toil for it: toil is the law.
John Ruskin
You should read books like you take medicine, by advice, and not by advertisement.
John Ruskin
We may, without offending any laws of good taste, require of an architect, as we do of a novelist, that he should be not only correct, but entertaining.
John Ruskin
The Training which Makes Men Happiest in themselves ... also Makes Them Most Serviceable to Others

A little thought and a little kindness are often worth more than a great deal of money.
John Ruskin
No divine terror will ever be found in the work of the man who wastes a colossal strength in elaborating toys for the first lesson that terror is sent to teach us is, the value of the human soul, and the shortness of mortal time.
John Ruskin
If a book is worth reading, it is worth buying.
John Ruskin
The infinity of God is not mysterious, it is only unfathomable not concealed, but incomprehensible it is a clear infinity, the darkness of the pure unsearchable sea.
John Ruskin
See! This our fathers did for us.
John Ruskin
The common practice of keeping up appearances with society is a mere selfish struggle of the vain with the vain.
John Ruskin
God will put up with a great many things in the human heart, but there is one thing that He will not put up with in it--a second place. He who offers God a second place, offers Him no place.
John Ruskin
Wherever men are noble, they love bright colour and wherever they can live healthily, bright colour is given them—in sky, sea, flowers, and living creatures.
John Ruskin
The higher a man stands, the more the word vulgar becomes unintelligible to him.
John Ruskin
He thinks by infection, catching an opinion like a cold.
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
Ignorance, which is contented and clumsy, will produce what is imperfect, but not offensive. But ignorance dis contented and dexterous, learning what it cannot understand, and imitating what it cannot enjoy, produces the most loathsome forms of manufacture that can disgrace or mislead humanity.
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
Education is the leading human souls to what is best, and making what is best out of them and these two objects are always attainable together, and by the same means the training which makes man happiest in themselves also makes them most serviceable to others.
John Ruskin
