More quotes by John Ruskin
No one can ask honestly or hopefully to be delivered from temptation unless he has himself honestly and firmly determined to do the best he can to keep out of it.
John Ruskin
There is nothing so great or so goodly in creation, but that it is a mean symbol of the gospel of Christ, and of the things He has prepared for them that love Him.
John Ruskin

John Ruskin

John Ruskin
Many thoughts are so dependent upon the language in which they are clothed that they would lose half their beauty if otherwise expressed.
John Ruskin
A little thought and a little kindness are often worth more than a great deal of money.
John Ruskin
Absolute ugliness is admitted as rarely as perfect beauty but degrees of it more or less distinct are associated with whatever has the nature of death and sin, just as beauty is associated with what has the nature of virtue and of life.
John Ruskin
You cannot get anything out of nature or from God by gambling only out of your neighbor.
John Ruskin
There are no laws by which we can write Iliads.
John Ruskin
Morality does not depend on religion.
John Ruskin
You may sell your work, but not your soul.
John Ruskin
The child who desires education will be bettered by it the child who dislikes it disgraced.
John Ruskin
If the design of the building be originally bad, the only virtue it can ever possess will be signs of antiquity.
John Ruskin
In order that a man may be happy, it is necessary that he should not only be capable of his work, but a good judge of his work.
John Ruskin
I will not kill or hurt any living creature needlessly, nor destroy any beautiful thing, but will strive to save and comfort all gentle life, and guard and perfect all natural beauty upon the earth.
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
Your art is to be the praise of something that you love. It may only be the praise of a shell or a stone.
John Ruskin
