More quotes by John Ruskin
The infinity of God is not mysterious, it is only unfathomable not concealed, but incomprehensible it is a clear infinity, the darkness of the pure unsearchable sea.
John Ruskin
In all things that live there are certain irregularities, and deficiencies which are not only signs of life, but sources of beauty. No human face is exactly the same in its lines on each side, no leaf perfect in its lobes, no branch in its symmetry.
John Ruskin
Your honesty is not to be based either on religion or policy.Bothyourreligionand policy must be basedon it.
John Ruskin
The first duty of government is to see that people have food, fuel, and clothes. The second, that they have means of moral and intellectual education.
John Ruskin
No small misery is caused by overworked and unhappy people, in the dark views which they necessarily take up themselves, and force upon others, of work itself.
John Ruskin
That country is the richest which nourishes the greatest number of noble and happy human beings.
John Ruskin
There is no music in a “rest” that I know of, but there's the making of music in it. And people are always missing that part of the life melody.
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
God alone can finish.
John Ruskin
There was always more in the world than men could see, walked they ever so slowly they will see it no better for going fast. The really precious things are thought and sight, not pace.
John Ruskin
Multitudes think they like to do evil yet no man ever really enjoyed doing evil since God made the world.
John Ruskin
The higher a man stands, the more the word vulgar becomes unintelligible to him.
John Ruskin
We are only advancing in life, whose hearts are getting softer, our blood warmer, our brains quicker, and our spirits entering into living peace.
John Ruskin
We must note carefully what distinction there is between a healthy and a diseased love of change for as it was in healthy love of change that the Gothic architecture rose, it was partly in consequence of diseased love of change that it was destroyed.
John Ruskin
It seems a fantastic paradox, but it is nevertheless a most important truth, that no architecture can be truly noble which is not imperfect.
John Ruskin
The man who says to one, go, and he goeth, and to another, come, and he cometh, has, in most cases, more sense of restraint and difficulty than the man who obeys him.
John Ruskin
Conceit may puff a man up, but never prop him up.
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
The wisest men are wise to the full in death.
John Ruskin
Nothing can be beautiful which is not true.
John Ruskin
