More quotes by 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
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
To know anything well involves a profound sensation of ignorance.
John Ruskin
Value is the life-giving power of anything cost, the quantity of labour required to produce it its price, the quantity of labourwhich its possessor will take in exchange for it.
John Ruskin
All the other passions do occasional good, but whenever pride puts in its word, everything goes wrong, and what it might really be desirable to do, quietly and innocently, it is mortally dangerous to do, proudly.
John Ruskin

John Ruskin
Do not think it wasted time to submit yourselves to any influence which may bring upon you any noble feeling.
John Ruskin
Give an earnest-hearted, devoted girl any true work that will make her active in the dawn, and weary at night, with the consciousness that her fellow-creatures have indeed been the better for her day, and the powerless sorrow of her enthusiasm will transform itself into a majesty of radiant and beneficent peace.
John Ruskin
When men are rightly occupied, their amusement grows out of their work.
John Ruskin
Living without an aim, is like sailing without a compass.
John Ruskin
Milton saw not, and Beethoven heard not, but the sense of beauty was upon them, and they fain must speak.
John Ruskin
The noble grotesque involves the true appreciation of beauty.
John Ruskin
See! This our fathers did for us.
John Ruskin
Perfect taste is the faculty of receiving the greatest possible pleasure from those material sources which are attractive to oar moral nature in its purity and perfection.
John Ruskin
Education is the leading of human souls to what is best, and making what is best out of them.
John Ruskin
That country is the richest which nourishes the greatest number of noble and happy human beings.
John Ruskin
Science deals exclusively with things as they are in themselves.
John Ruskin
No human being, however great, or powerful, was ever so free as a fish.
John Ruskin
