More quotes by John Ruskin
All that we call ideal in Greek or any other art, because to us it is false and visionary, was, to the makers of it, true and existent.
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
The highest thoughts are those which are least dependent on language, and the dignity of any composition and praise to which it is entitled are in exact proportion to its dependency of language or expression.
John Ruskin
It is a strange thing how little in general people know about the sky. It is the part of creation in which nature has done more for the sake of pleasing man.
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
A thing is worth what it can do for you, not what you choose to pay for it.
John Ruskin
Greatness is not a teachable nor gainable thing, but the expression of the mind of a God-made great man.
John Ruskin
You will find that the mere resolve not to be useless, and the honest desire to help other people, will, in the quickest and delicatest ways, improve yourself.
John Ruskin
The noble grotesque involves the true appreciation of beauty.
John Ruskin
The finer the nature, the more flaws it will show through the clearness of it and it is a law of this universe that the best things shall be seldomest seen in their best form.
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
I cannot but think it an evil sign of a people when their houses are built to last for one generation only.
John Ruskin
Fine art is that in which the hand, the head, and the heart of man go together.
John Ruskin
There is material enough in a single flower for the ornament of a score of cathedrals.
John Ruskin
He who has truth at his heart need never fear the want of persuasion on his tongue.
John Ruskin
No human being, however great, or powerful, was ever so free as a fish.
John Ruskin
Childhood often holds a truth with its feeble finger, which the grasp of manhood cannot retain,--which it is the pride of utmost age to recover.
John Ruskin
The very cheapness of literature is making even wise people forget that if a book is worth reading, it is worth buying. No book is worth anything which is not worth much nor is it serviceable, until it has been read, and re-read, and loved, and loved again and marked, so that you can refer to the passages you want in it.
John Ruskin
There is no wealth but life.
John Ruskin
You cannot get anything out of nature or from God by gambling only out of your neighbor.
John Ruskin
