More quotes by John Ruskin
It is a matter of the simplest demonstration, that no man can be really appreciated but by his equal or superior.
John Ruskin
Quality is never an accident. It is always the result of intelligent effort.
John Ruskin
Death is not a journey into an unknown land it is a voyage home. We are going, not to a strange country, but to our fathers house.
John Ruskin
There's no music in rest, but there's the making of music in it. And people are always missing that part of the life melody, always talking of perseverance and courage and fortitude but patience is the finest and worthiest part of fortitude, and the rarest, too.
John Ruskin
Kind hearts are the garden, kind thoughts are the roots, kind words are the blossoms, kind deeds are the fruit.
John Ruskin
The plea of ignorance will never take away our responsibilities.
John Ruskin
The world is full of vulgar Purists, who bring discredit on all selection by the silliness of their choice and this the more, because the very becoming a Purist is commonly indicative of some slight degree of weakness, readiness to be offended, or narrowness of understanding of the ends of things.
John Ruskin
It is not how much one makes but to what purpose one spends.
John Ruskin

John Ruskin
One evening, when I was yet in my nurse's arms, I wanted to touch the tea urn, which was boiling merrily ... My nurse would have taken me away from the urn, but my mother said Let him touch it. So I touched it - and that was my first lesson in the meaning of liberty.
John Ruskin
The essence of lying is in deception, not in words.
John Ruskin
God never imposes a duty without giving time to do it.
John Ruskin
The higher a man stands, the more the word vulgar becomes unintelligible to him.
John Ruskin
To speak and act truth with constancy and precision is nearly as difficult, and perhaps as meretorious, as to speak it under intimidation or penalty
John Ruskin
Every noble life leaves the fibre of it interwoven forever in the work of the world.
John Ruskin
Not only is there but one way of doing things rightly, but there is only one way of seeing them, and that is, seeing the whole of them.
John Ruskin
No human being, however great, or powerful, was ever so free as a fish.
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
All true opinions are living, and show their life by being capable of nourishment therefore of change. But their change is that of a tree not of a cloud.
John Ruskin
An infinitude of tenderness is the chief gift and inheritance of all truly great men.
John Ruskin
