More quotes by 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

John Ruskin
Another of the strange and evil tendencies of the present day is the decoration of the railroad station...

John Ruskin

It is the far sight, the quiet and confident patience, that, above all other attributes, separate man from man, and near him to his Maker and there is no action nor art, whose majesty we may not measure by this test.
John Ruskin
All great song, from the first day when human lips contrived syllables, has been sincere song.
John Ruskin

John Ruskin
There is nothing that this age, from whatever standpoint we survey it, needs more, physically, intellectually, and morally, than thorough ventilation.
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
There is no wealth but life.
John Ruskin
They are the weakest-minded and the hardest-hearted men that most love change.
John Ruskin
It is advisable that a person know at least three things, where they are, where they are going, and what they had best do under the circumstances.
John Ruskin
There are no such things as Flowers there are only gladdened Leaves.
John Ruskin
Your art is to be the praise of something that you love. It may only be the praise of a shell or a stone.
John Ruskin
Morality does not depend on religion.
John Ruskin
