More quotes by John Ruskin
I desire ... to leave this one great fact clearly stated. THERE IS NO WEALTH BUT LIFE.
John Ruskin
If the thing is impossible, you need not trouble yourselves about it if possible, try for it.
John Ruskin
There is nothing that this age, from whatever standpoint we survey it, needs more, physically, intellectually, and morally, than thorough ventilation.
John Ruskin
We are only advancing in life, whose hearts are getting softer, our blood warmer, our brains quicker, and our spirits entering into living peace.
John Ruskin
[For men] to feel their souls withering within them, unthanked, to find their whole being sunk into an unrecognized abyss, to be counted off into a heap of mechanism numbered with its wheels, and weighed with its hammer strokes - this, nature bade not, - this, God blesses not, - this, humanity for no long time is able to endure.
John Ruskin
To yield reverence to another, to hold ourselves and our lives at his disposal, is not slavery often, it is the noblest state in which a man can live in this world.
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
In great countries, children are always trying to remain children, and the parents want to make them into adults. In vile countries, the children are always wanting to be adults and the parents want to keep them children.
John Ruskin
They are the weakest-minded and the hardest-hearted men that most love change.
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
The distinguishing sign of slavery is to have a price, and to be bought for it.
John Ruskin
Many thoughts are so dependent upon the language in which they are clothed that they would lose half their beauty if otherwise expressed.
John Ruskin
An artist should be well read in the best books, and thoroughly high bred, both in heart and bearing. In a word, he should be fit for the best society, and should keef out of it.
John Ruskin
There is nothing so great or so goodly in creation, but that it is a mean symbol of the gospel of Christ, and of the things He has prepared for them that love Him.
John Ruskin
Why is one man richer than another? Because he is more industrious, more persevering and more sagacious.
John Ruskin
In the range of inorganic nature. I doubt if any object can be found more perfectly beautiful than a fresh, deep snowdrift, seen under warm light.
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
Without mountains the air could not be purified, nor the flowing of the rivers sustained.
John Ruskin
It is not how much one makes but to what purpose one spends.
John Ruskin
The relative majesty of buildings depends more on the weight and vigour of their masses than any other tribute of their design.
John Ruskin
