More quotes by John Ruskin
You may either win your peace or buy it: win it, by resistance to evil buy it, by compromise with evil.
John Ruskin
Every noble life leaves the fibre of it interwoven forever in the work of the world.
John Ruskin
When love and skill work together, expect a masterpiece.
John Ruskin
All traveling becomes dull in exact proportion to its rapidity.
John Ruskin
One of the worst diseases to which the human creature is liable is its disease of thinking.
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
I believe that the first test of a great man is his humility. I don't mean by humility, doubt of his power. But really great men have a curious feeling that the greatness is not of them, but through them. And they see something divine in every other man and are endlessly, foolishly, incredibly merciful.
John Ruskin
God gives us always strength enough, and sense enough, for what He wants us to do if we either tire ourselves or puzzle ourselves, it is our own fault.
John Ruskin
All true opinions are living, and show their life by being capable of nourishment therefore of change. But their change is that of a tree not of a cloud.
John Ruskin
Variety is a positive requisite even in the character of our food.
John Ruskin
To know anything well involves a profound sensation of ignorance.
John Ruskin
Surely our clergy need not be surprised at the daily increasing distrust in the public mind of the efficacy of prayer.
John Ruskin
Architecture is the art which so disposes and adorns the edifices raised by man, that the sight of them may contribute to his mental health, power, and pleasure.
John Ruskin
Nothing can be beautiful which is not true.
John Ruskin
Fine art is that in which the hand, the head, and the heart of man go together.
John Ruskin
How long most people would look at the best book before they would give the price of a large turbot for it?
John Ruskin
It is a matter of the simplest demonstration, that no man can be really appreciated but by his equal or superior.
John Ruskin
Temperance, in the nobler sense, does not mean a subdued and imperfect energy it does not mean a stopping short in any good thing, as in love and in faith but it means the power which governs the most intense energy, and prevents its acting in way but as it ought.
John Ruskin
A little thought and a little kindness are often worth more than a great deal of money.
John Ruskin
The art of nations is to be accumulative, just as science and history are the work of living men not superseding, but building itself upon the work of the past.
John Ruskin
