More quotes by John Ruskin
The object of true education is to make people not merely do the right things, but enjoy them
John Ruskin
All of one's life is music, if one touches the notes rightly, and in time.
John Ruskin
Every good piece of art... involves first essentially the evidence of human skill, and the formation of an actually beautiful thing by it.
John Ruskin
Never has interest in art been so high, and never has quality been so low.
John Ruskin
Whether we force the man's property from him by pinching his stomach, or pinching his fingers, makes some difference anatomically morally, none whatsoever.
John Ruskin
Skill is the unified force of experience, intellect and passion in their operation.
John Ruskin
A man is known to his dog by the smell, to his tailor by the coat, to his friend by the smile each of these know him, but how little or how much depends on the dignity of the intelligence. That which is truly and indeed characteristic of the man is known only to God.
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 is in this power of saying everything, and yet saying nothing too plainly, that the perfection of art consists.
John Ruskin
Wise laws and just restraints are to a noble nation not chains, but chains of mail, -- strength and defense, though something of an incumbrance.
John Ruskin
The entire vitality of art depends upon its being either full of truth, or full of use and that, however pleasant, wonderful, or impressive it may be in itself, it must yet be of inferior kind, and tend to deeper inferiority, unless it has clearly one of these main objects, either to state a true thing, or to adorn a serviceable one.
John Ruskin
If a book is worth reading, it is worth buying.
John Ruskin
Nature is painting for us, day after day, pictures of infinite beauty.
John Ruskin
In great countries, children are always trying to remain children, and the parents want to make them into adults. In vile countries, the children are always wanting to be adults and the parents want to keep them children.
John Ruskin
Genius is only a superior power of seeing.
John Ruskin
God alone can finish.
John Ruskin
There is nothing that this age, from whatever standpoint we survey it, needs more, physically, intellectually, and morally, than thorough ventilation.
John Ruskin
To banish imperfection is to destroy expression, to check exertion, to paralyze vitality.
John Ruskin
Sky is the part of creation in which Nature has done more for the sake of pleasing man, more for the sole and evident purpose of talking to him and teaching him, than in any other of her works, and it is just the part in which we least attend to her.
John Ruskin
The only way to understand these difficult parts of the Bible, or even to approach them with safety, is first to read and obey the easy ones.
John Ruskin
