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
You cannot get anything out of nature or from God by gambling only out of your neighbor.
John Ruskin
Unless we perform divine service with every willing act of our life, we never perform it at all.
John Ruskin
Great nations write their autobiographies in three manuscripts - the book of their deeds, the book of their words and the book of their art.
John Ruskin
My mother's influence in molding my character was conspicuous. She forced me to learn daily long chapters of the Bible by heart. To that discipline and patient, accurate resolve I owe not only much of my general power of taking pains, but of the best part of my taste for literature.
John Ruskin
This is the true nature of home - it is the place of Peace the shelter, not only from all injury, but from all terror, doubt, and division.
John Ruskin
God alone can finish.
John Ruskin
