More quotes by John Ruskin
This is the true nature of home - it is the place of Peace the shelter, not only from all injury, but from all terror, doubt, and division.
John Ruskin
It is not how much one makes but to what purpose one spends.
John Ruskin
It is in this power of saying everything, and yet saying nothing too plainly, that the perfection of art consists.
John Ruskin
In my house there is no attempt whatever to secure harmonies of colour, or form, or furniture.... I am entirely independent for daily happiness upon the sensual qualities of form or colour-when I want them I take them either from the sky or from the fields.
John Ruskin
Science deals exclusively with things as they are in themselves and art exclusively with things as they affect the human sense and human soul.
John Ruskin
The entire object of true education is to make people not merely do the right things, but enjoy the right things — not merely industrious, but to love industry — not merely learned, but to love knowledge — not merely pure, but to love purity — not merely just, but to hunger and thirst after justice.
John Ruskin
I believe that the first test of a great man is his humility. I don't mean by humility, doubt of his power. But really great men have a curious feeling that the greatness is not of them, but through them. And they see something divine in every other man and are endlessly, foolishly, incredibly merciful.
John Ruskin
Architecture concerns itself only with those characters of an edifice which are above and beyond its common use.
John Ruskin
Every duty we omit obscures some truth we should have known.
John Ruskin
Music when healthy, is the teacher of perfect order, and when depraved, the teacher of perfect disorder.
John Ruskin
Freedom is only granted us that obedience may be more perfect.
John Ruskin
The entire vitality of art depends upon its being either full of truth, or full of use and that, however pleasant, wonderful, or impressive it may be in itself, it must yet be of inferior kind, and tend to deeper inferiority, unless it has clearly one of these main objects, either to state a true thing, or to adorn a serviceable one.
John Ruskin
Education is the leading of human souls to what is best, and making what is best out of them.
John Ruskin
All great art is the work of the whole living creature, body and soul, and chiefly of the soul.
John Ruskin
That man is always happy who is in the presence of something which he cannot know to the full, which he is always going on to know.
John Ruskin
It is not, truly speaking, the labour that is divided but the men: divided into mere segments of men - broken into small fragments and crumbs of life, so that all the little piece of intelligence that is left in a man is not enough to make a pin, or a nail, but exhausts itself in making the point of a pin or the head of a nail.
John Ruskin
Greater completion marks the progress of art, absolute completion usually its decline.
John Ruskin
It does not matter what the whip is it is none the less a whip, because you have cut thongs for it out of your own souls.
John Ruskin
The greatest efforts of the race have always been traceable to the love of praise, as the greatest catastrophes to the love of pleasure.
John Ruskin
The object of true education is to make people not merely do the right things, but enjoy them
