More quotes by 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
If a great thing can be done, it can be done easily, but this ease is like the of ease of a tree blossoming after long years of gathering strength.
John Ruskin
English artists are usually entirely ruined by residence in Italy.
John Ruskin
We were not sent into this world to do anything into which we cannot put our hearts.
John Ruskin
The Training which Makes Men Happiest in themselves ... also Makes Them Most Serviceable to Others
John Ruskin
Science deals exclusively with things as they are in themselves.
John Ruskin
All great art is the work of the whole living creature, body and soul, and chiefly of the soul.
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
God gives us always strength enough, and sense enough, for what He wants us to do if we either tire ourselves or puzzle ourselves, it is our own fault.
John Ruskin
Every duty we omit obscures some truth we should have known.
John Ruskin
All that we call ideal in Greek or any other art, because to us it is false and visionary, was, to the makers of it, true and existent.
John Ruskin
Shadows are in reality, when the sun is shining, the most conspicuous thing in a landscape, next to the highest lights.
John Ruskin
The only way to understand these difficult parts of the Bible, or even to approach them with safety, is first to read and obey the easy ones.
John Ruskin
Once thoroughly our own, the knowledge ceases to give us pleasure.
John Ruskin
The greatest thing a human soul ever does in this world is to see something and tell what it saw in a plain way. Hundreds of people can talk for one who can think, but thousands can think for one who can see. To see clearly is poetry, prophecy and religion, all in one.
John Ruskin
God never imposes a duty without giving time to do it.
John Ruskin
I am almost sick and giddy with the quantity of things in my head, all tempting and wanting to be worked out.
John Ruskin
If some people really see angels where others see only empty space, let them paint the angels: only let not anybody else think they can paint an angel too, on any calculated principles of the angelic.
John Ruskin
The proof of a thing's being right is that it has power over the heart that it excites us, wins us, or helps us.
John Ruskin
People are eternally divided into two classes, the believer, builder, and praiser...and the unbeliever, destroyer and critic.
John Ruskin
