More quotes by John Ruskin
The relative majesty of buildings depends more on the weight and vigour of their masses than any other tribute of their design.
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
There was a rocky valley between Buxton and Bakewell?divine as the vale of Tempe you might have seen the gods there morning and eveningApollo and the sweet Muses of the Light? You enterprised a railroad?you blasted its rocks away? And, now, every fool in Buxton can be at Bakewell in half-an-hour, and every fool in Bakewell at Buxton.
John Ruskin

John Ruskin
Remember always, in painting as in eloquence, the greater your strength, the quieter will be your manner, and the fewer your words and in painting, as in all the arts and acts of life the secret of high success will be found, not in a fretful and various excellence, but in a quiet singleness of justly chosen aim.
John Ruskin
There is material enough in a single flower for the ornament of a score of cathedrals.
John Ruskin
Multitudes think they like to do evil yet no man ever really enjoyed doing evil since God made the world.
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 beginning and almost the end of all good law is that everyone shall work for their bread and receive good bread for their work.
John Ruskin
Mighty of heart, mighty of mind, magnanimous-to be this is indeed to be great in life.
John Ruskin
To make your children capable of honesty is the beginning of education.
John Ruskin
Some slaves are scoured to their work by whips, others by their restlessness and ambition.
John Ruskin
[For men] to feel their souls withering within them, unthanked, to find their whole being sunk into an unrecognized abyss, to be counted off into a heap of mechanism numbered with its wheels, and weighed with its hammer strokes - this, nature bade not, - this, God blesses not, - this, humanity for no long time is able to endure.
John Ruskin
