More quotes by John Ruskin
No one can explain how the notes of a Mozart melody, or the folds of a piece of Titian's drapery, produce their essential effects. If you do not feel it, no one can by reasoning make you feel it.
John Ruskin
Do not think of your faults, still less of other's faults look for what is good and strong, and try to imitate it. Your faults will drop off, like dead leaves, when their time comes.
John Ruskin
The Bible is the one Book to which any thoughtful man may go with any honest question of life or destiny and find the answer of God by honest searching.
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
Freedom is only granted us that obedience may be more perfect.
John Ruskin
Give me some mud off a city crossing, some ochre out of a gravel pit and a little whitening and some coal dust and I will paint you a luminous picture if you give me time to gradate my mud and subdue my dust.
John Ruskin
It is among children only, and as children only, that you will find medicine for your healing and true wisdom for your teaching.
John Ruskin
The man who can see all gray, and red, and purples in a peach, will paint the peach rightly round, and rightly altogether. But the man who has only studied its roundness may not see its purples and grays, and if he does not will never get it to look like a peach so that great power over color is always a sign of large general art-intellect.
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
Order and system are nobler things than power.
John Ruskin
Come, ye cold winds, at January's call, On whistling wings, and with white flakes bestrew The earth.
John Ruskin
To do your own work well, whether it be for life or death.
John Ruskin
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
There is nothing that this age, from whatever standpoint we survey it, needs more, physically, intellectually, and morally, than thorough ventilation.
John Ruskin
There are no laws by which we can write Iliads.
John Ruskin
The noble grotesque involves the true appreciation of beauty.
John Ruskin
See! This our fathers did for us.
John Ruskin
Modern education has devoted itself to the teaching of impudence, and then we complain that we can no longer control our mobs.
John Ruskin
The relative majesty of buildings depends more on the weight and vigour of their masses than any other tribute of their design.
John Ruskin
Living without an aim, is like sailing without a compass.
John Ruskin
