More quotes by John Ruskin
All really great pictures exhibit the general habits of nature, manifested in some peculiar, rare, and beautiful way.
John Ruskin
Science has to do with facts, art with phenomena. To science, phenomena are of use only as they lead to facts and to art, facts are of use only as they lead to phenomena.
John Ruskin
Greatness is not a teachable nor gainable thing, but the expression of the mind of a God-made great man.
John Ruskin
He who is not actively kind is cruel!
John Ruskin

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
God gives us always strength enough, and sense enough, for what He wants us to do if we either tire ourselves or puzzle ourselves, it is our own fault.
John Ruskin
I would rather teach drawing that my pupils may learn to love nature, than teach the looking at nature that they may learn to draw.
John Ruskin
The noble grotesque involves the true appreciation of beauty.
John Ruskin
The proof of a thing's being right is that it has power over the heart that it excites us, wins us, or helps us.
John Ruskin
When men are rightly occupied, their amusement grows out of their work.
John Ruskin
It is in this power of saying everything, and yet saying nothing too plainly, that the perfection of art consists.
John Ruskin
In every person who comes near you look for what is good and strong.
John Ruskin
To do your own work well, whether it be for life or death.
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
Mighty of heart, mighty of mind, magnanimous-to be this is indeed to be great in life.
John Ruskin
In the range of inorganic nature. I doubt if any object can be found more perfectly beautiful than a fresh, deep snowdrift, seen under warm light.
John Ruskin
