More quotes by 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
The step between practical and theoretic science, is the step between the miner and the geologist, the apocathecary and the chemist.
John Ruskin
Such help as we can give to each other in this world is a debt to each other and the man who perceives a superiority or a capacity in a subordinate, and neither confesses nor assists it, is not merely the withholder of kindness, but the committer of injury.
John Ruskin
A great thing can only be done by a great person and they do it without effort.
John Ruskin
No amount of pay ever made a good soldier, a good teacher, a good artist, or a good workman.
John Ruskin
Life is a magic vase filled to the brim, so made that you cannot dip from it nor draw from it but it overflows into the hand that drops treasures into it. Drop in malice and it overflows hate drop in charity and it overflows love.
John Ruskin
In order that people may be happy in their work, these three things are needed: They must be fit for it. They must not do too much of it. And they must have a sense of success in it.
John Ruskin
I would rather teach drawing that my pupils may learn to love nature, than teach the looking at nature that they may learn to draw.
John Ruskin
Whenever I did anything wrong, stupid or hard-hearted, and I have done many things that were all three, my mother always said it is because you were too much indulged.
John Ruskin
Kind hearts are the garden, kind thoughts are the roots, kind words are the blossoms, kind deeds are the fruit.
John Ruskin
Some slaves are scoured to their work by whips, others by their restlessness and ambition.
John Ruskin
In one point of view, Gothic is not only the best, but the only rational architecture, as being that which can fit itself most easily to all services, vulgar or noble.
John Ruskin
The Training which Makes Men Happiest in themselves ... also Makes Them Most Serviceable to Others
John Ruskin
Books are divided into two classes, the books of the hour and the books of all time.
John Ruskin
Shadows are in reality, when the sun is shining, the most conspicuous thing in a landscape, next to the highest lights.
John Ruskin
I wish they would use English instead of Greek words. When I want to know why a leaf is green, they tell me it is coloured by chlorophyll, which at first sounds very instructive but if they would only say plainly that a leaf is coloured green by a thing which is called green leaf, we should see more precisely how far we had got.
John Ruskin
Nothing can be beautiful which is not true.
John Ruskin
God will put up with a great many things in the human heart, but there is one thing that He will not put up with in it--a second place. He who offers God a second place, offers Him no place.
John Ruskin
Your honesty is not to be based either on religion or policy.Bothyourreligionand policy must be basedon it.
John Ruskin
Without mountains the air could not be purified, nor the flowing of the rivers sustained.
