More quotes by John Ruskin
Your labor only may be sold, your soul must not.
John Ruskin
No peace was ever won from fate by subterfuge or argument no peace is ever in store for any of us, but that which we shall win by victory over shame or sin--victory over the sin that oppresses, as well as over that which corrupts.
John Ruskin
The Divine mind is as visible in its full energy of operation on every lowly bank and mouldering stone as in the lifting of the pillars of heaven, and settling the foundation of the earth.
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
Cursing is invoking the assistance of a spirit to help you inflict suffering. Swearing on the other hand, is invoking, only the witness of a spirit to an statement you wish to make.
John Ruskin
There was a rocky valley between Buxton and Bakewell?divine as the vale of Tempe you might have seen the gods there morning and eveningApollo and the sweet Muses of the Light? You enterprised a railroad?you blasted its rocks away? And, now, every fool in Buxton can be at Bakewell in half-an-hour, and every fool in Bakewell at Buxton.
John Ruskin
How false is the conception, how frantic the pursuit, of that treacherous phantom which men call Liberty.
John Ruskin
The child who desires education will be bettered by it the child who dislikes it disgraced.
John Ruskin
That which is required in order to the attainment of accurate conclusions respecting the essence of the Beautiful is nothing morethan earnest, loving, and unselfish attention to our impressions of it.
John Ruskin
How long most people would look at the best book before they would give the price of a large turbot for it?
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
Surely our clergy need not be surprised at the daily increasing distrust in the public mind of the efficacy of prayer.
John Ruskin
Absolute ugliness is admitted as rarely as perfect beauty but degrees of it more or less distinct are associated with whatever has the nature of death and sin, just as beauty is associated with what has the nature of virtue and of life.
John Ruskin
Nearly all the evils in the Church have arisen from bishops desiring power more than light. They want authority, not outlook.
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
The beginning and almost the end of all good law is that everyone shall work for their bread and receive good bread for their work.
John Ruskin
In order that a man may be happy, it is necessary that he should not only be capable of his work, but a good judge of his work.
John Ruskin
Many thoughts are so dependent upon the language in which they are clothed that they would lose half their beauty if otherwise expressed.
John Ruskin
A great thing can only be done by a great person and they do it without effort.
John Ruskin
Your art is to be the praise of something that you love. It may only be the praise of a shell or a stone.
John Ruskin
