More quotes by John Ruskin
To know anything well involves a profound sensation of ignorance.
John Ruskin
You do not see with the lens of the eye. You seen through that, and by means of that, but you see with the soul of the eye.
John Ruskin
When men are rightly occupied, their amusement grows out of their work.
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
I am far more provoked at being thought foolish by foolish people, than pleased at being thought sensible by sensible people and the average proportion of the numbers of each is not to my advantage.
John Ruskin
This is the true nature of home - it is the place of Peace the shelter, not only from all injury, but from all terror, doubt, and division.
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
You will find that the mere resolve not to be useless, and the honest desire to help other people, will, in the quickest and delicatest ways, improve yourself.
John Ruskin
All of one's life is music, if one touches the notes rightly, and in time.
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
So long as we see the stones and joints, and are not deceived as to the points of support in any piece of architecture, we may rather praise than regret the dexterous artifices which compel us to feel as if there were fibre in its shafts and life in its branches.
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
Freedom is only granted us that obedience may be more perfect.
John Ruskin
The child who desires education will be bettered by it the child who dislikes it disgraced.
John Ruskin
It is strange that of all the pieces of the Bible which my mother taught me, that which cost me the most to learn, and which was to my childish mind the most repulsive - Psalm 119 - has now become of all the most precious to me in its overflowing and glorious passion of love for the Law of God.
John Ruskin
Work first and then rest. Work first, and then gaze, but do not use golden ploughshares, nor bind ledgers in enamel.
John Ruskin
Whenever I did anything wrong, stupid or hard-hearted, and I have done many things that were all three, my mother always said it is because you were too much indulged.
John Ruskin
He is the greatest artist who has embodied, in the sum of his works, the greatest number of the greatest ideas.
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
All traveling becomes dull in exact proportion to its rapidity.
John Ruskin
