More quotes by John Ruskin
In every person who comes near you look for what is good and strong.
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
There is nothing that this age, from whatever standpoint we survey it, needs more, physically, intellectually, and morally, than thorough ventilation.
John Ruskin
The history of humanity is not the history of its wars, but the history of its households.
John Ruskin
You can only possess beauty through understanding it.
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
He who has truth at his heart need never fear the want of persuasion on his tongue.
John Ruskin
Give me some mud off a city crossing, some ochre out of a gravel pit and a little whitening and some coal dust and I will paint you a luminous picture if you give me time to gradate my mud and subdue my dust.
John Ruskin
English artists are usually entirely ruined by residence in Italy.
John Ruskin
A man is known to his dog by the smell, to his tailor by the coat, to his friend by the smile each of these know him, but how little or how much depends on the dignity of the intelligence. That which is truly and indeed characteristic of the man is known only to God.
John Ruskin
Nothing can be beautiful which is not true.
John Ruskin
He who can take no interest in what is small will take false interest in what is great.
John Ruskin
Expression, sentiment, truth to nature, are essential: but all those are not enough. I never care to look at a picture again, if it be ill composed and if well composed I can hardly leave off looking at it.
John Ruskin
Every increased possession loads us with a new weariness.
John Ruskin
Mountains are the beginning and the end of all natural scenery.
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
Let us reform our schools, and we shall find little reform needed in our prisons.
John Ruskin
Which of us?is to do the hard and dirty work for the restand for what pay? Who is to do the pleasant and clean work, and for what pay?
John Ruskin
It is far better to give work that is above a person, than to educate the person to be above their work.
John Ruskin
You cannot get anything out of nature or from God by gambling only out of your neighbor.
John Ruskin
