More quotes by John Ruskin

John Ruskin
The noble grotesque involves the true appreciation of beauty.
John Ruskin
The greatest efforts of the race have always been traceable to the love of praise, as the greatest catastrophes to the love of pleasure.
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
In general, pride is at the bottom of all great mistakes.
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
Race is precisely of as much consequence in man as it is in any animal.
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
The secret of language is the secret of sympathy, and its full charm is possible only to the gentle
John Ruskin
Unless we perform divine service with every willing act of our life, we never perform it at all.
John Ruskin
