More quotes by John Ruskin
Some slaves are scoured to their work by whips, others by their restlessness and ambition.
John Ruskin
I have not written in vain if I have heretofore done anything towards diminishing the reputation of the Renaissance landscape painting.

Modern education has devoted itself to the teaching of impudence, and then we complain that we can no longer control our mobs.

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
Morality does not depend on religion.
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
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
When God shuts a door, He opens a window.
