John Ruskin
Ship of the line is the most honourable thing that man, as a gregarious animal, has ever produced.
John Ruskin

John Ruskin
He who can take no interest in what is small will take false interest in what is great.
John Ruskin

John Ruskin
Fine art is that in which the hand, the head, and the heart of man go together.
John Ruskin
The principle of all successful effort is to try to do not what is absolutely the best, but what is easily within our power, and suited for our temperament and condition.
John Ruskin
The path of a good woman is indeed strewn with flowers but they rise behind her steps, not before them.
John Ruskin
I cannot but think it an evil sign of a people when their houses are built to last for one generation only.
John Ruskin
We must note carefully what distinction there is between a healthy and a diseased love of change for as it was in healthy love of change that the Gothic architecture rose, it was partly in consequence of diseased love of change that it was destroyed.
John Ruskin
A great thing can only be done by a great person and they do it without effort.
John Ruskin
