More quotes by John Ruskin
I am almost sick and giddy with the quantity of things in my head, all tempting and wanting to be worked out.
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
Imperfection is in some sort essential to all that we know in life.
John Ruskin
Whenever you see want or misery or degradation in this world about you, then be sure either industry has been wanting, or industry has been in error.
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
Science studies the relations of things to each other: but art studies only their relations to man.
John Ruskin
In health of mind and body, men should see with their own eyes, hear and speak without trumpets, walk on their feet, not on wheels, and work and war with their arms, not with engine-beams, nor rifles warranted to kill twenty men at a shot before you can see them.
John Ruskin
Let us reform our schools, and we shall find little reform needed in our prisons.
John Ruskin
Every great man is always being helped by everybody, for his gift is to get good out of all things and all persons.
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
Do not think it wasted time to submit yourselves to any influence which may bring upon you any noble feeling.
John Ruskin
Science deals exclusively with things as they are in themselves.
John Ruskin
Such help as we can give to each other in this world is a debt to each other and the man who perceives a superiority or a capacity in a subordinate, and neither confesses nor assists it, is not merely the withholder of kindness, but the committer of injury.
John Ruskin
It is in this power of saying everything, and yet saying nothing too plainly, that the perfection of art consists.
John Ruskin
Work first, and then rest.
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 not the weariness of mortality, but the strength of divinity, which we have to recognize in all mighty things and that is just what we now never recognize, but think that we are to do great things by help of iron bars and perspiration. Alas! we shall do nothing that way but lose some pounds of our own weight.
John Ruskin
The principle of all successful effort is to try to do not what is absolutely the best, but what is easily within our power, and suited for our temperament and condition.
John Ruskin
It is not, truly speaking, the labour that is divided but the men: divided into mere segments of men - broken into small fragments and crumbs of life, so that all the little piece of intelligence that is left in a man is not enough to make a pin, or a nail, but exhausts itself in making the point of a pin or the head of a nail.
John Ruskin
Of human work none but what is bad can be perfect in its own bad way.
John Ruskin
