More quotes by John Ruskin
Value is the life-giving power of anything cost, the quantity of labour required to produce it its price, the quantity of labourwhich its possessor will take in exchange for it.
John Ruskin
Levi's station in life was the receipt of custom and Peter's, the shore of Galilee and Paul's, the antechambers of the High- Priest, which station in life each had to leave, with brief notice.
John Ruskin
Life is a magic vase filled to the brim, so made that you cannot dip from it nor draw from it but it overflows into the hand that drops treasures into it. Drop in malice and it overflows hate drop in charity and it overflows love.
John Ruskin
Modern education has devoted itself to the teaching of impudence, and then we complain that we can no longer control our mobs.
John Ruskin
All violent feelings have the same effect. They produce in us a falseness in all our impressions of external things, which I would generally characterize as the pathetic fallacy.
John Ruskin
It is far better to give work that is above a person, than to educate the person to be above their work.
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
Our duty is to preserve what the past has had to say for itself, and to say for ourselves what shall be true for the future.
John Ruskin
That country is the richest which nourishes the greatest number of noble and happy human beings.
John Ruskin
Fine art is that in which the hand, the head, and the heart of man go together.
John Ruskin
The child who desires education will be bettered by it the child who dislikes it disgraced.
John Ruskin
One of the worst diseases to which the human creature is liable is its disease of thinking.
John Ruskin
Give an earnest-hearted, devoted girl any true work that will make her active in the dawn, and weary at night, with the consciousness that her fellow-creatures have indeed been the better for her day, and the powerless sorrow of her enthusiasm will transform itself into a majesty of radiant and beneficent peace.
John Ruskin
There is no action so slight or so mean but it may be done to a great purpose, and ennobled thereby.
John Ruskin
Do not think of your faults, still less of other's faults look for what is good and strong, and try to imitate it. Your faults will drop off, like dead leaves, when their time comes.
John Ruskin
There are many religions, but there is only one morality.
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
The truth of Nature is a part of the truth of God to him who does not search it out, darkness to him who does, infinity.
John Ruskin
In old times men used their powers of painting to show the objects of faith, in later times they use the objects of faith to show their powers of painting.
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
