More quotes by John Ruskin
Come, ye cold winds, at January's call, On whistling wings, and with white flakes bestrew The earth.
John Ruskin
To speak and act truth with constancy and precision is nearly as difficult, and perhaps as meretorious, as to speak it under intimidation or penalty
John Ruskin
No art can be noble which is incapable of expressing thought, and no art is capable of expressing thought which does not change.
John Ruskin
Death is not a journey into an unknown land it is a voyage home. We are going, not to a strange country, but to our fathers house.
John Ruskin
English artists are usually entirely ruined by residence in Italy.
John Ruskin
To do your own work well, whether it be for life or death.
John Ruskin

John Ruskin
Science studies the relations of things to each other: but art studies only their relations to man.
John Ruskin

John Ruskin
Beethoven always sounds to me like the upsetting of a bag of nails, with here and there an also dropped hammer.
John Ruskin
Science deals exclusively with things as they are in themselves.
John Ruskin
Some slaves are scoured to their work by whips, others by their restlessness and ambition.
John Ruskin
Every good piece of art... involves first essentially the evidence of human skill, and the formation of an actually beautiful thing by it.
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
The finer the nature, the more flaws it will show through the clearness of it and it is a law of this universe that the best things shall be seldomest seen in their best form.
John Ruskin
Living without an aim, is like sailing without a compass.
John Ruskin
In every person who comes near you look for what is good and strong.
John Ruskin
An infinitude of tenderness is the chief gift and inheritance of all truly great men.
John Ruskin
The first test of a truly great man is his humility. By humility I don't mean doubt of his powers or hesitation in speaking his opinion, but merely an understanding of the relationship of what he can say and what he can do.
John Ruskin
That which is required in order to the attainment of accurate conclusions respecting the essence of the Beautiful is nothing morethan earnest, loving, and unselfish attention to our impressions of it.
John Ruskin
