More quotes by John Ruskin
A nation which lives a pastoral and innocent life never decorates the shepherd's staff or the plough-handle but races who live by depredation and slaughter nearly always bestow exquisite ornaments on the quiver, the helmet, and the spear.
John Ruskin
It is impossible to tell you the perfect sweetness of the lips and closed eyes, nor the solemnity of the seal of death which is set upon the whole figure. It is, in every way, perfect--truth itself, but truth selected with inconceivable refinement of feeling.
John Ruskin
It’s unwise to pay too much, but it’s worse to pay too little.
John Ruskin
Another of the strange and evil tendencies of the present day is the decoration of the railroad station... There was never more flagrant nor impertinent folly than the smallest portion of ornament in anything connected with the railroads... Railroad architecture has or would have a dignity of its own if it were only left to its work.
John Ruskin
All traveling becomes dull in exact proportion to its rapidity.
John Ruskin
The history of humanity is not the history of its wars, but the history of its households.
John Ruskin
Race is precisely of as much consequence in man as it is in any animal.
John Ruskin
I desire ... to leave this one great fact clearly stated. THERE IS NO WEALTH BUT LIFE.
John Ruskin
The truths of nature are one eternal change, one infinite variety. There is no bush on the face of the globe exactly like another bush there are no two trees in the forest whose boughs bend into the same network, nor two leaves on the same tree which could not be told one from the other, nor two waves in the sea exactly alike.
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
Your labor only may be sold, your soul must not.
John Ruskin
That country is the richest which nourishes the greatest number of noble and happy human beings.
John Ruskin
The art of drawing which is of more real importance to the human race than that of writing...should be taught to every child just as writing is.
John Ruskin
It is excellent discipline for an author to feel that he must say all that he has to say in the fewest possible words, or his readers is sure to skip them.
John Ruskin
All great art is the work of the whole living creature, body and soul, and chiefly of the soul.
John Ruskin
If you want knowledge, you must toil for it if food, you must toil for it and if pleasure, you must toil for it: toil is the law.
John Ruskin
Science deals exclusively with things as they are in themselves.
John Ruskin
Do not think of your faults, still less of other's faults look for what is good and strong, and try to imitate it. Your faults will drop off, like dead leaves, when their time comes.
John Ruskin
There is never vulgarity in a whole truth, however commonplace. It may be unimportant or painful. It cannot be vulgar. Vulgarity is only in concealment of truth, or in affectation.
John Ruskin
The step between practical and theoretic science, is the step between the miner and the geologist, the apocathecary and the chemist.
