More quotes by John Ruskin
Architecture concerns itself only with those characters of an edifice which are above and beyond its common use.
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
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
Work first and then rest. Work first, and then gaze, but do not use golden ploughshares, nor bind ledgers in enamel.
John Ruskin
If a book is worth reading, it is worth buying.
John Ruskin
A little thought and a little kindness are often worth more than a great deal of money.
John Ruskin
Men cannot not live by exchanging articles, but producing them. They live by work not trade.
John Ruskin
The greatest efforts of the race have always been traceable to the love of praise, as the greatest catastrophes to the love of pleasure.
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
Pleasure comes through toil, and not by self indulgence and indolence. When one gets to love work, his life is a happy one.
John Ruskin
In the range of inorganic nature. I doubt if any object can be found more perfectly beautiful than a fresh, deep snowdrift, seen under warm light.
John Ruskin
Music when healthy, is the teacher of perfect order, and when depraved, the teacher of perfect disorder.
John Ruskin
God never imposes a duty without giving time to do it.
John Ruskin
We must note carefully what distinction there is between a healthy and a diseased love of change for as it was in healthy love of change that the Gothic architecture rose, it was partly in consequence of diseased love of change that it was destroyed.
John Ruskin
There is no music in a “rest” that I know of, but there's the making of music in it. And people are always missing that part of the life melody.
John Ruskin
Unless we perform divine service with every willing act of our life, we never perform it at all.
John Ruskin
It is advisable that a person know at least three things, where they are, where they are going, and what they had best do under the circumstances.
John Ruskin
People are eternally divided into two classes, the believer, builder, and praiser...and the unbeliever, destroyer and critic.
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
How long most people would look at the best book before they would give the price of a large turbot for it?
John Ruskin
