John Ruskin

John Ruskin
No amount of pay ever made a good soldier, a good teacher, a good artist, or a good workman.
John Ruskin
He who can take no interest in what is small will take false interest in what is great.
John Ruskin
No girl who is well bred, 'kind, and modest, is ever offensively plain all real deformity means want of manners, or of heart.
John Ruskin
Disorder in a drawing-room is vulgar in an antiquary's study, not the black battle-stain on a soldier's face is not vulgar, but the dirty face of a housemaid is.
John Ruskin
He who has truth at his heart need never fear the want of persuasion on his tongue.
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
It is among children only, and as children only, that you will find medicine for your healing and true wisdom for your teaching.
John Ruskin
Every noble life leaves the fibre of it interwoven forever in the work of the world.
John Ruskin
