More quotes by John Ruskin
Science has to do with facts, art with phenomena. To science, phenomena are of use only as they lead to facts and to art, facts are of use only as they lead to phenomena.
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
The first condition of education is being able to put someone to wholesome and meaningful work.
John Ruskin
In health of mind and body, men should see with their own eyes, hear and speak without trumpets, walk on their feet, not on wheels, and work and war with their arms, not with engine-beams, nor rifles warranted to kill twenty men at a shot before you can see them.
John Ruskin
Architecture concerns itself only with those characters of an edifice which are above and beyond its common use.
John Ruskin
There are many religions, but there is only one morality.
John Ruskin
There is in every animal's eye a dim image and gleam of humanity, a flash of strange light through which their life looks out and up to our great mystery of command over them, and claims the fellowship of the creature if not of the soul.
John Ruskin
You can only possess beauty through understanding it.
John Ruskin
The plea of ignorance will never take away our responsibilities.
John Ruskin
Now the basest thought possible concerning man is, that he has no spiritual nature and the foolishest misunderstanding of him possible is, that he has, or should have, no animal nature. For his nature is nobly animal, nobly spiritual,--coherently and irrevocably so neither part of it may, but at its peril, expel, despise, or defy the other.
John Ruskin
That country is the richest which nourishes the greatest number of noble and happy human beings.
John Ruskin
Conceit may puff a man up, but never prop him up.
John Ruskin
Genius is only a superior power of seeing.
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 my house there is no attempt whatever to secure harmonies of colour, or form, or furniture.... I am entirely independent for daily happiness upon the sensual qualities of form or colour-when I want them I take them either from the sky or from the fields.
John Ruskin
The Bible is the one Book to which any thoughtful man may go with any honest question of life or destiny and find the answer of God by honest searching.
John Ruskin
The proof of a thing's being right is that it has power over the heart that it excites us, wins us, or helps us.
John Ruskin
All great song, from the first day when human lips contrived syllables, has been sincere song.
John Ruskin
Wise laws and just restraints are to a noble nation not chains, but chains of mail, -- strength and defense, though something of an incumbrance.
John Ruskin
There was always more in the world than men could see, walked they ever so slowly they will see it no better for going fast. The really precious things are thought and sight, not pace.
John Ruskin
