More quotes by John Ruskin
And remember, child, that nothing is ever done beautifully, which is done in rivalship or nobly, which is done in pride.
John Ruskin
Men are more evanescent than pictures, yet one sorrows for lost friends, and pictures are my friends. I have none others. I am never long enough with men to attach myself to them and whatever feelings of attachment I have are to material things.
John Ruskin
It does not matter what the whip is it is none the less a whip, because you have cut thongs for it out of your own souls.
John Ruskin
Life is a magic vase filled to the brim, so made that you cannot dip from it nor draw from it but it overflows into the hand that drops treasures into it. Drop in malice and it overflows hate drop in charity and it overflows love.
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
Every duty we omit obscures some truth we should have known.
John Ruskin
The strength and power of a country depends absolutely on the quantity of good men and women in it.
John Ruskin
A great thing can only be done by a great person and they do it without effort.
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
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
Fit yourself for the best society, and then, never enter it.
John Ruskin
Science studies the relations of things to each other: but art studies only their relations to man.
John Ruskin
If some people really see angels where others see only empty space, let them paint the angels: only let not anybody else think they can paint an angel too, on any calculated principles of the angelic.
John Ruskin
God alone can finish.
John Ruskin
There is never vulgarity in a whole truth, however commonplace. It may be unimportant or painful. It cannot be vulgar. Vulgarity is only in concealment of truth, or in affectation.
John Ruskin
The essence of lying is in deception, not in words.
John Ruskin
The first condition of education is being able to put someone to wholesome and meaningful work.
John Ruskin
The common practice of keeping up appearances with society is a mere selfish struggle of the vain with the vain.
John Ruskin
There is rough work to be done, and rough men must do it there is gentle work to be done, and gentlemen must do it.
John Ruskin
One evening, when I was yet in my nurse's arms, I wanted to touch the tea urn, which was boiling merrily ... My nurse would have taken me away from the urn, but my mother said Let him touch it. So I touched it - and that was my first lesson in the meaning of liberty.
John Ruskin
