John Ruskin
Skill is the unified force of experience, intellect and passion in their operation.
John Ruskin
Without the perfect sympathy with the animals around them, no gentleman's education, no Christian education, could be of any possible use.
John Ruskin
Better a child should be ignorant of a thousand truths than have consecrated in its heart a single lie.
John Ruskin
Every duty we omit obscures some truth we should have known.
John Ruskin
It is excellent discipline for an author to feel that he must say all that he has to say in the fewest possible words, or his readers is sure to skip them.
John Ruskin
The common practice of keeping up appearances with society is a mere selfish struggle of the vain with the vain.
John Ruskin
Sky is the part of creation in which Nature has done more for the sake of pleasing man, more for the sole and evident purpose of talking to him and teaching him, than in any other of her works, and it is just the part in which we least attend to her.
John Ruskin
You may either win your peace or buy it: win it, by resistance to evil buy it, by compromise with evil.
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
Unless we perform divine service with every willing act of our life, we never perform it at all.
John Ruskin
I believe that there is no test of greatness in periods, nations or men more sure than the development, among them or in them, of a noble grotesque, and no test of comparative smallness or limitation, of one kind or another, more sure than the absence of grotesque invention, or incapability of understanding it.
John Ruskin
The plea of ignorance will never take away our responsibilities.
John Ruskin
The Training which Makes Men Happiest in themselves ... also Makes Them Most Serviceable to Others
John Ruskin
The greatest thing a human soul ever does in this world is to see something and tell what it saw in a plain way. Hundreds of people can talk for one who can think, but thousands can think for one who can see. To see clearly is poetry, prophecy and religion, all in one.
John Ruskin
Every noble life leaves the fibre of it interwoven forever in the work of the world.
John Ruskin
All that we call ideal in Greek or any other art, because to us it is false and visionary, was, to the makers of it, true and existent.
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
I cannot but think it an evil sign of a people when their houses are built to last for one generation only.
John Ruskin
Never has interest in art been so high, and never has quality been so low.
John Ruskin
