More quotes by 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
He who can take no interest in what is small will take false interest in what is great.
John Ruskin
It is in this power of saying everything, and yet saying nothing too plainly, that the perfection of art consists.
John Ruskin
The path of a good woman is indeed strewn with flowers but they rise behind her steps, not before them.
John Ruskin
You do not see with the lens of the eye. You seen through that, and by means of that, but you see with the soul of the eye.

John Ruskin
In painting as in eloquence, the greater your strength, the quieter your manner.
John Ruskin
He thinks by infection, catching an opinion like a cold.
John Ruskin

John Ruskin
Men cannot not live by exchanging articles, but producing them. They live by work not trade.
John Ruskin
Whenever I did anything wrong, stupid or hard-hearted, and I have done many things that were all three, my mother always said it is because you were too much indulged.
John Ruskin
The child who desires education will be bettered by it the child who dislikes it disgraced.
John Ruskin
The noble grotesque involves the true appreciation of beauty.
John Ruskin
The truths of nature are one eternal change, one infinite variety. There is no bush on the face of the globe exactly like another bush there are no two trees in the forest whose boughs bend into the same network, nor two leaves on the same tree which could not be told one from the other, nor two waves in the sea exactly alike.
John Ruskin
The imagination is never governed, it is always the ruling and divine power.
John Ruskin
Painting with all its technicalities, difficulties, and peculiar ends, is nothing but a noble and expressive language, invaluable as the vehicle of thought, but by itself nothing.
John Ruskin
