More quotes by John Ruskin
No one can become rich by the efforts of only their toil, but only by the discovery of some method of taxing the labor of others.
John Ruskin
In my house there is no attempt whatever to secure harmonies of colour, or form, or furniture.... I am entirely independent for daily happiness upon the sensual qualities of form or colour-when I want them I take them either from the sky or from the fields.
John Ruskin
The history of humanity is not the history of its wars, but the history of its households.
John Ruskin
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!
John Ruskin
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
Men cannot not live by exchanging articles, but producing them. They live by work not trade.
John Ruskin
All traveling becomes dull in exact proportion to its rapidity.
John Ruskin
It is a strange thing how little in general people know about the sky. It is the part of creation in which nature has done more for the sake of pleasing man.
John Ruskin
All great song, from the first day when human lips contrived syllables, has been sincere song.
John Ruskin
It’s unwise to pay too much, but it’s worse to pay too little.
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
Your labor only may be sold, your soul must not.
John Ruskin
No good is ever done to society by the pictorial representation of its diseases.
John Ruskin
The highest reward for a person's toil is not what they get for it, but what they become by it.
John Ruskin
He who has learned what is commonly considered the whole art of painting, that is, the art of representing any natural object faithfully, has as yet only learned the language by which his thoughts are to be expressed.
John Ruskin
Architecture concerns itself only with those characters of an edifice which are above and beyond its common use.
John Ruskin
Of all the pulpits from which human voice is ever sent forth, there is none from which it reaches so far as from the grave.
John Ruskin
There is nothing so great or so goodly in creation, but that it is a mean symbol of the gospel of Christ, and of the things He has prepared for them that love Him.
John Ruskin
Failure is less attributable to either insufficiency of means or impatience of labours than to a confused understanding of the thing actually to be done.
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
