Death is not a journey into an unknown land it is a voyage home. We are going, not to a strange country, but to our fathers house.

More quotes by John Ruskin
The step between practical and theoretic science, is the step between the miner and the geologist, the apocathecary and the chemist.
John Ruskin
It is advisable that a person know at least three things, where they are, where they are going, and what they had best do under the circumstances.
John Ruskin
Once thoroughly our own, the knowledge ceases to give us pleasure.
John Ruskin
Government and cooperation are in all things the laws of life. Anarchy and competition, the laws of death.
John Ruskin
The path of a good woman is indeed strewn with flowers but they rise behind her steps, not before them.
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
Men have commonly more pleasure in the criticism which hurts than in that which is innocuous, and are more tolerant of the severity which breaks hearts and ruins fortunes than of that which falls impotently on the grave.
John Ruskin
An artist should be well read in the best books, and thoroughly high bred, both in heart and bearing. In a word, he should be fit for the best society, and should keef out of it.
John Ruskin
In the range of inorganic nature. I doubt if any object can be found more perfectly beautiful than a fresh, deep snowdrift, seen under warm light.
John Ruskin
If the design of the building be originally bad, the only virtue it can ever possess will be signs of antiquity.
John Ruskin
You may sell your work, but not your soul.
John Ruskin
When you pay too much, you lose a little money - that is all. When you pay too little, you sometimes lose everything, because the thing you bought is incapable of doing the thing it was bought to do.
John Ruskin
The common practice of keeping up appearances with society is a mere selfish struggle of the vain with the vain.
John Ruskin
Like other beautiful things in this world, its end (that of a shaft) is to be beautiful and, in proportion to its beauty, it receives permission to be otherwise useless. We do not blame emeralds and rubies because we cannot make them into heads of hammers.
John Ruskin
Better a child should be ignorant of a thousand truths than have consecrated in its heart a single lie.
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
Every duty we omit obscures some truth we should have known.
John Ruskin
[For men] to feel their souls withering within them, unthanked, to find their whole being sunk into an unrecognized abyss, to be counted off into a heap of mechanism numbered with its wheels, and weighed with its hammer strokes - this, nature bade not, - this, God blesses not, - this, humanity for no long time is able to endure.
John Ruskin
Civilization is the making of civil persons.
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
