John Ruskin
Image
All true opinions are living, and show their life by being capable of nourishment therefore of change. But their change is that of a tree not of a cloud.
John Ruskin
Image
I believe that the first test of a great man is his humility. I don't mean by humility, doubt of his power. But really great men have a curious feeling that the greatness is not of them, but through them. And they see something divine in every other man and are endlessly, foolishly, incredibly merciful.
John Ruskin

Labour without joy is base. Labour without sorrow is base. Sorrow without labour is base. Joy without labour is base.

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

Nearly all the evils in the Church have arisen from bishops desiring power more than light. They want authority, not outlook.
John Ruskin
Image
The Divine mind is as visible in its full energy of operation on every lowly bank and mouldering stone as in the lifting of the pillars of heaven, and settling the foundation of the earth.
John Ruskin
Image
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
Image
God will put up with a great many things in the human heart, but there is one thing that He will not put up with in it--a second place. He who offers God a second place, offers Him no place.
John Ruskin
Image
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
Image
We may live without her, and worship without her, but we cannot remember without her. How cold is all history, how lifeless all imagery, compared to that which the living nation writes, and the uncorrupted marble bears!

God alone can finish.

The plea of ignorance will never take away our responsibilities.

Cookery means…English thoroughness, French art, and Arabian hospitality it means the knowledge of all fruits and herbs and balms and spices it means carefulness, inventiveness, and watchfulness.
John Ruskin
Image
Another of the strange and evil tendencies of the present day is the decoration of the railroad station... There was never more flagrant nor impertinent folly than the smallest portion of ornament in anything connected with the railroads... Railroad architecture has or would have a dignity of its own if it were only left to its work.

The path of a good woman is indeed strewn with flowers but they rise behind her steps, not before them.
