More quotes by John Ruskin
Wherever men are noble, they love bright colour and wherever they can live healthily, bright colour is given them—in sky, sea, flowers, and living creatures.
John Ruskin
No human being, however great, or powerful, was ever so free as a fish.
John Ruskin
If a book is worth reading, it is worth buying.
John Ruskin
How long most people would look at the best book before they would give the price of a large turbot for it?
John Ruskin
The highest reward for a person's toil is not what they get for it, but what they become by it.
John Ruskin
The path of a good woman is indeed strewn with flowers but they rise behind her steps, not before them.
John Ruskin
The entire object of true education is to make people not merely do the right things, but enjoy the right things — not merely industrious, but to love industry — not merely learned, but to love knowledge — not merely pure, but to love purity — not merely just, but to hunger and thirst after justice.
John Ruskin
I wish they would use English instead of Greek words. When I want to know why a leaf is green, they tell me it is coloured by chlorophyll, which at first sounds very instructive but if they would only say plainly that a leaf is coloured green by a thing which is called green leaf, we should see more precisely how far we had got.
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
An infinitude of tenderness is the chief gift and inheritance of all truly great men.
John Ruskin
Beethoven always sounds to me like the upsetting of a bag of nails, with here and there an also dropped hammer.
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
The child who desires education will be bettered by it the child who dislikes it disgraced.
John Ruskin
Give an earnest-hearted, devoted girl any true work that will make her active in the dawn, and weary at night, with the consciousness that her fellow-creatures have indeed been the better for her day, and the powerless sorrow of her enthusiasm will transform itself into a majesty of radiant and beneficent peace.
John Ruskin
I desire ... to leave this one great fact clearly stated. THERE IS NO WEALTH BUT LIFE.
John Ruskin
What we think or what we know or what we believe is in the end of little consequence. The only thing of consequence is what we do
John Ruskin
No good is ever done to society by the pictorial representation of its diseases.
John Ruskin
Order and system are nobler things than power.
John Ruskin
High art consists neither in altering, nor in improving nature but in seeking throughout nature for 'whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are pure' in loving these, in displaying to the utmost of the painter's power such loveliness as is in them, and directing the thoughts of others to them by winning art, or gentle emphasis.
John Ruskin
Never has interest in art been so high, and never has quality been so low.
John Ruskin
