More quotes by John Ruskin
Books are divided into two classes, the books of the hour and the books of all time.
John Ruskin
Labour without joy is base. Labour without sorrow is base. Sorrow without labour is base. Joy without labour is base.
John Ruskin
The first condition of education is being able to put someone to wholesome and meaningful work.
John Ruskin
We are only advancing in life, whose hearts are getting softer, our blood warmer, our brains quicker, and our spirits entering into living peace.
John Ruskin
The higher a man stands, the more the word vulgar becomes unintelligible to him.
John Ruskin
Obedience is, indeed, founded on a kind of freedom, else it would become mere subjugation, but that freedom is only granted that obedience may be more perfect and thus while a measure of license is necessary to exhibit the individual energies of things, the fairness and pleasantness and perfection of them all consist in their restraint.
John Ruskin
Of human work none but what is bad can be perfect in its own bad way.
John Ruskin
In order that a man may be happy, it is necessary that he should not only be capable of his work, but a good judge of his work.
John Ruskin
You may sell your work, but not your soul.
John Ruskin
All of one's life is music, if one touches the notes rightly, and in time.
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
In health of mind and body, men should see with their own eyes, hear and speak without trumpets, walk on their feet, not on wheels, and work and war with their arms, not with engine-beams, nor rifles warranted to kill twenty men at a shot before you can see them.
John Ruskin
Every great man is always being helped by everybody, for his gift is to get good out of all things and all persons.
John Ruskin
The art of nations is to be accumulative, just as science and history are the work of living men not superseding, but building itself upon the work of the past.
John Ruskin
You cannot have good architecture merely by asking people's advice on occasion. All good architecture is the expression of national life and character and it is produced by a prevalent and eager national taste, or desire for beauty.
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
It’s unwise to pay too much, but it’s worse to pay too little.
John Ruskin
Unless we perform divine service with every willing act of our life, we never perform it at all.
John Ruskin
God gives us always strength enough, and sense enough, for what He wants us to do if we either tire ourselves or puzzle ourselves, it is our own fault.
John Ruskin
Color is, in brief terms, the type of love. Hence it is especially connected with the blossoming of the earth and again, with its fruits also, with the spring and fall of the leaf, and with the morning and evening of the day, in order to show the waiting of love about the birth and death of man.
John Ruskin
