More quotes by John Ruskin
In one point of view, Gothic is not only the best, but the only rational architecture, as being that which can fit itself most easily to all services, vulgar or noble.
John Ruskin
Mighty of heart, mighty of mind, magnanimous-to be this is indeed to be great in life.
John Ruskin
Remember always, in painting as in eloquence, the greater your strength, the quieter will be your manner, and the fewer your words and in painting, as in all the arts and acts of life the secret of high success will be found, not in a fretful and various excellence, but in a quiet singleness of justly chosen aim.
John Ruskin
No human being, however great, or powerful, was ever so free as a fish.
John Ruskin
It is impossible to tell you the perfect sweetness of the lips and closed eyes, nor the solemnity of the seal of death which is set upon the whole figure. It is, in every way, perfect--truth itself, but truth selected with inconceivable refinement of feeling.
John Ruskin
It is a good and safe rule to sojourn in every place as if you meant to spend your life there, never omitting an opportunity of doing a kindness, or speaking a true word, or making a friend.
John Ruskin
When you pay too much, you lose a little money - that is all. When you pay too little, you sometimes lose everything, because the thing you bought is incapable of doing the thing it was bought to do.
John Ruskin
One of the worst diseases to which the human creature is liable is its disease of thinking.
John Ruskin
Kind hearts are the garden, kind thoughts are the roots, kind words are the blossoms, kind deeds are the fruit.
John Ruskin
Education is the leading human souls to what is best, and making what is best out of them and these two objects are always attainable together, and by the same means the training which makes man happiest in themselves also makes them most serviceable to others.
John Ruskin
The wisest men are wise to the full in death.
John Ruskin
The constant duty of every man to his fellows is to ascertain his own powers and special gifts, and to strengthen them for the help of others.
John Ruskin
To be able to ask a question clearly is two-thirds of the way to getting it answered.
John Ruskin
The man who says to one, go, and he goeth, and to another, come, and he cometh, has, in most cases, more sense of restraint and difficulty than the man who obeys him.
John Ruskin
If you want knowledge, you must toil for it if food, you must toil for it and if pleasure, you must toil for it: toil is the law.
John Ruskin
I have not written in vain if I have heretofore done anything towards diminishing the reputation of the Renaissance landscape painting.
John Ruskin
All traveling becomes dull in exact proportion to its rapidity.
John Ruskin
People are eternally divided into two classes, the believer, builder, and praiser...and the unbeliever, destroyer and critic.
John Ruskin
Ship of the line is the most honourable thing that man, as a gregarious animal, has ever produced.
John Ruskin
Temperance, in the nobler sense, does not mean a subdued and imperfect energy it does not mean a stopping short in any good thing, as in love and in faith but it means the power which governs the most intense energy, and prevents its acting in way but as it ought.
