More quotes by John Ruskin
Painting with all its technicalities, difficulties, and peculiar ends, is nothing but a noble and expressive language, invaluable as the vehicle of thought, but by itself nothing.
John Ruskin
They are the weakest-minded and the hardest-hearted men that most love change.
John Ruskin
In every person who comes near you look for what is good and strong.
John Ruskin
The man who can see all gray, and red, and purples in a peach, will paint the peach rightly round, and rightly altogether. But the man who has only studied its roundness may not see its purples and grays, and if he does not will never get it to look like a peach so that great power over color is always a sign of large general art-intellect.
John Ruskin
All the other passions do occasional good, but whenever pride puts in its word, everything goes wrong, and what it might really be desirable to do, quietly and innocently, it is mortally dangerous to do, proudly.
John Ruskin
Never has interest in art been so high, and never has quality been so low.
John Ruskin
Whenever you see want or misery or degradation in this world about you, then be sure either industry has been wanting, or industry has been in error.
John Ruskin
I will not kill or hurt any living creature needlessly, nor destroy any beautiful thing, but will strive to save and comfort all gentle life, and guard and perfect all natural beauty upon the earth.
John Ruskin
You do not see with the lens of the eye. You seen through that, and by means of that, but you see with the soul of the eye.
John Ruskin
To yield reverence to another, to hold ourselves and our lives at his disposal, is not slavery often, it is the noblest state in which a man can live in this world.
John Ruskin
Men cannot not live by exchanging articles, but producing them. They live by work not trade.
John Ruskin
Your labor only may be sold, your soul must not.
John Ruskin
In painting as in eloquence, the greater your strength, the quieter your manner.
John Ruskin
Give an earnest-hearted, devoted girl any true work that will make her active in the dawn, and weary at night, with the consciousness that her fellow-creatures have indeed been the better for her day, and the powerless sorrow of her enthusiasm will transform itself into a majesty of radiant and beneficent peace.
John Ruskin
There are many religions, but there is only one morality.
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
When love and skill work together, expect a masterpiece.
John Ruskin
We are only advancing in life, whose hearts are getting softer, our blood warmer, our brains quicker, and our spirits entering into living peace.
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
Architecture concerns itself only with those characters of an edifice which are above and beyond its common use.
John Ruskin
