More quotes by John Ruskin
Disorder in a drawing-room is vulgar in an antiquary's study, not the black battle-stain on a soldier's face is not vulgar, but the dirty face of a housemaid is.
John Ruskin
A man is born an artist as a hippopotamus is born a hippopotamus and you can no more make yourself one than you can make yourself a giraffe.
John Ruskin
If a great thing can be done, it can be done easily, but this ease is like the of ease of a tree blossoming after long years of gathering strength.

John Ruskin
All traveling becomes dull in exact proportion to its rapidity.
John Ruskin
Your labor only may be sold, your soul must not.
John Ruskin

John Ruskin
I cannot but think it an evil sign of a people when their houses are built to last for one generation only.
John Ruskin
The world is full of vulgar Purists, who bring discredit on all selection by the silliness of their choice and this the more, because the very becoming a Purist is commonly indicative of some slight degree of weakness, readiness to be offended, or narrowness of understanding of the ends of things.
John Ruskin
The higher a man stands, the more the word vulgar becomes unintelligible to him.
John Ruskin
