More quotes by John Ruskin

John Ruskin
Not without design does God write the music of our lives.
John Ruskin
Quality is never an accident. It is always the result of intelligent effort.
John Ruskin
Borrowers are nearly always ill-spenders, and it is with lent money that all evil is mainly done and all unjust war protracted.
John Ruskin
The world is full of vulgar Purists, who bring discredit on all selection by the silliness of their choice and this the more, because the very becoming a Purist is commonly indicative of some slight degree of weakness, readiness to be offended, or narrowness of understanding of the ends of things.
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
No art can be noble which is incapable of expressing thought, and no art is capable of expressing thought which does not change.
John Ruskin
He is the greatest artist who has embodied, in the sum of his works, the greatest number of the greatest ideas.
John Ruskin

John Ruskin
In every person who comes near you look for what is good and strong.
John Ruskin
He who can take no interest in what is small will take false interest in what is great.
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
Cursing is invoking the assistance of a spirit to help you inflict suffering. Swearing on the other hand, is invoking, only the witness of a spirit to an statement you wish to make.
John Ruskin
To yield reverence to another, to hold ourselves and our lives at his disposal, is not slavery often, it is the noblest state in which a man can live in this world.
John Ruskin
Our duty is to preserve what the past has had to say for itself, and to say for ourselves what shall be true for the future.
John Ruskin
Work first, and then rest.
John Ruskin
Depend upon it, the first universal characteristic of all great art is Tenderness, as the second is Truth.
John Ruskin
That which is required in order to the attainment of accurate conclusions respecting the essence of the Beautiful is nothing morethan earnest, loving, and unselfish attention to our impressions of it.
John Ruskin
When God shuts a door, He opens a window.
John Ruskin
There was a rocky valley between Buxton and Bakewell?divine as the vale of Tempe you might have seen the gods there morning and eveningApollo and the sweet Muses of the Light? You enterprised a railroad?you blasted its rocks away? And, now, every fool in Buxton can be at Bakewell in half-an-hour, and every fool in Bakewell at Buxton.
John Ruskin
