More quotes by John Ruskin
It is among children only, and as children only, that you will find medicine for your healing and true wisdom for your teaching.
John Ruskin
In all things that live there are certain irregularities, and deficiencies which are not only signs of life, but sources of beauty. No human face is exactly the same in its lines on each side, no leaf perfect in its lobes, no branch in its symmetry.
John Ruskin
And remember, child, that nothing is ever done beautifully, which is done in rivalship or nobly, which is done in pride.
John Ruskin
Nothing can be beautiful which is not true.
John Ruskin
It is better to lose your pride with someone you love rather than to lose that someone you love with your useless pride.
John Ruskin
There are no such things as Flowers there are only gladdened Leaves.
John Ruskin
If a book is worth reading, it is worth buying.
John Ruskin
They are the weakest-minded and the hardest-hearted men that most love change.
John Ruskin
Every duty we omit obscures some truth we should have known.
John Ruskin
In order that a man may be happy, it is necessary that he should not only be capable of his work, but a good judge of his work.
John Ruskin
... A power of obtaining veracity in the representation of material and tangible things, which, within certain limits and conditions, is unimpeachable, has now been placed in the hands of all men, almost without labour. (1853)
John Ruskin
No one can ask honestly or hopefully to be delivered from temptation unless he has himself honestly and firmly determined to do the best he can to keep out of it.
John Ruskin
Color is, in brief terms, the type of love. Hence it is especially connected with the blossoming of the earth and again, with its fruits also, with the spring and fall of the leaf, and with the morning and evening of the day, in order to show the waiting of love about the birth and death of man.
John Ruskin
Civilization is the making of civil persons.
John Ruskin
Let us reform our schools, and we shall find little reform needed in our prisons.
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
We have seen when the earth had to be prepared for the habitation of man, a veil, as it were, of intermediate being was spread between him and its darkness, in which were joined in a subdued measure, the stability and insensibility of the earth, and the passion and perishing of mankind.
John Ruskin
Remember that the most beautiful things in the world are the most useless peacocks and lilies for instance.
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
Order and system are nobler things than power.
John Ruskin
