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

More quotes by 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
There is rough work to be done, and rough men must do it there is gentle work to be done, and gentlemen must do it.
John Ruskin
I have not written in vain if I have heretofore done anything towards diminishing the reputation of the Renaissance landscape painting.
John Ruskin
We were not sent into this world to do anything into which we cannot put our hearts.
John Ruskin
In every person who comes near you look for what is good and strong.
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
When the whole world turns clown, and paints itself red with its own hearts blood instead of vermilion, it is something else than comic.
John Ruskin
He who is not actively kind is cruel!
John Ruskin
You can only possess beauty through understanding it.
John Ruskin
The greatest thing a human soul ever does in this world is to see something and tell what it saw in a plain way. Hundreds of people can talk for one who can think, but thousands can think for one who can see. To see clearly is poetry, prophecy and religion, all in one.
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
Of all the pulpits from which human voice is ever sent forth, there is none from which it reaches so far as from the grave.
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 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
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
The object of true education is to make people not merely do the right things, but enjoy them
John Ruskin
All really great pictures exhibit the general habits of nature, manifested in some peculiar, rare, and beautiful way.
John Ruskin
The plea of ignorance will never take away our responsibilities.
John Ruskin
The beginning and almost the end of all good law is that everyone shall work for their bread and receive good bread for their work.
John Ruskin
A great thing can only be done by a great person and they do it without effort.
John Ruskin
