More quotes by John Ruskin
Some slaves are scoured to their work by whips, others by their restlessness and ambition.
John Ruskin
When men are rightly occupied, their amusement grows out of their work.
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
That which is required in order to the attainment of accurate conclusions respecting the essence of the Beautiful is nothing morethan earnest, loving, and unselfish attention to our impressions of it.
John Ruskin
The noble grotesque involves the true appreciation of beauty.
John Ruskin
In the range of inorganic nature. I doubt if any object can be found more perfectly beautiful than a fresh, deep snowdrift, seen under warm light.
John Ruskin
We were not sent into this world to do anything into which we cannot put our hearts.
John Ruskin

John Ruskin
We are only advancing in life, whose hearts are getting softer, our blood warmer, our brains quicker, and our spirits entering into living peace.
John Ruskin
He who is not actively kind is cruel!
John Ruskin
There is in every animal's eye a dim image and gleam of humanity, a flash of strange light through which their life looks out and up to our great mystery of command over them, and claims the fellowship of the creature if not of the soul.
John Ruskin
We may, without offending any laws of good taste, require of an architect, as we do of a novelist, that he should be not only correct, but entertaining.
John Ruskin
I am far more provoked at being thought foolish by foolish people, than pleased at being thought sensible by sensible people and the average proportion of the numbers of each is not to my advantage.
John Ruskin
There are many religions, but there is only one morality.
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
There are no such things as Flowers there are only gladdened Leaves.
John Ruskin
How long most people would look at the best book before they would give the price of a large turbot for it?
John Ruskin
I am almost sick and giddy with the quantity of things in my head, all tempting and wanting to be worked out.
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
Men have commonly more pleasure in the criticism which hurts than in that which is innocuous, and are more tolerant of the severity which breaks hearts and ruins fortunes than of that which falls impotently on the grave.
John Ruskin
