More quotes by John Ruskin
Imperfection is in some sort essential to all that we know in life.
John Ruskin
Without the perfect sympathy with the animals around them, no gentleman's education, no Christian education, could be of any possible use.
John Ruskin
I desire ... to leave this one great fact clearly stated. THERE IS NO WEALTH BUT LIFE.
John Ruskin
Mighty of heart, mighty of mind, magnanimous-to be this is indeed to be great in life.
John Ruskin
Though you may have known clever men who were indolent, you never knew a great man who was so and when I hear a young man spoken of as giving promise of great genius, the first question I ask about him always is, Does he work?
John Ruskin
It is not, truly speaking, the labour that is divided but the men: divided into mere segments of men - broken into small fragments and crumbs of life, so that all the little piece of intelligence that is left in a man is not enough to make a pin, or a nail, but exhausts itself in making the point of a pin or the head of a nail.
John Ruskin
The greatest glory of a building is not in its stones, nor in its gold. Its glory is in its Age, and in that deep sense of voicefulness, of stern watching, of mysterious sympathy... which we feel in walls that have long been washed by the passing waves of humanity.
John Ruskin
There is no wealth but life.
John Ruskin
When the whole world turns clown, and paints itself red with its own hearts blood instead of vermilion, it is something else than comic.
John Ruskin
No girl who is well bred, 'kind, and modest, is ever offensively plain all real deformity means want of manners, or of heart.
John Ruskin
Ship of the line is the most honourable thing that man, as a gregarious animal, has ever produced.
John Ruskin
They are the weakest-minded and the hardest-hearted men that most love change.
John Ruskin
In old times men used their powers of painting to show the objects of faith, in later times they use the objects of faith to show their powers of painting.
John Ruskin
You cannot get anything out of nature or from God by gambling only out of your neighbor.
John Ruskin
... Amongst all the mechanical poison that this terrible nineteenth century has poured upon men, it has given us at any rate one antidote - the Daguerreotype. (1845)
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
Of human work none but what is bad can be perfect in its own bad way.
John Ruskin
You will find that the mere resolve not to be useless, and the honest desire to help other people, will, in the quickest and delicatest ways, improve yourself.
John Ruskin
The strength and power of a country depends absolutely on the quantity of good men and women in it.
John Ruskin
The first duty of government is to see that people have food, fuel, and clothes. The second, that they have means of moral and intellectual education.
John Ruskin
