More quotes by John Ruskin

John Ruskin
The child who desires education will be bettered by it the child who dislikes it disgraced.
John Ruskin
All of one's life is music, if one touches the notes rightly, and in time.
John Ruskin
We may live without her, and worship without her, but we cannot remember without her. How cold is all history, how lifeless all imagery, compared to that which the living nation writes, and the uncorrupted marble bears!
John Ruskin
The object of true education is to make people not merely do the right things, but enjoy them
John Ruskin
No divine terror will ever be found in the work of the man who wastes a colossal strength in elaborating toys for the first lesson that terror is sent to teach us is, the value of the human soul, and the shortness of mortal time.
John Ruskin
There is no wealth but life.
John Ruskin
No amount of pay ever made a good soldier, a good teacher, a good artist, or a good workman.

John Ruskin
That country is the richest which nourishes the greatest number of noble and happy human beings.
John Ruskin
Men cannot not live by exchanging articles, but producing them. They live by work not trade.
John Ruskin
To yield reverence to another, to hold ourselves and our lives at his disposal, is not slavery often, it is the noblest state in which a man can live in this world.
John Ruskin
The distinguishing sign of slavery is to have a price, and to be bought for it.
John Ruskin
They are the weakest-minded and the hardest-hearted men that most love change.
John Ruskin
In all things that live there are certain irregularities, and deficiencies which are not only signs of life, but sources of beauty. No human face is exactly the same in its lines on each side, no leaf perfect in its lobes, no branch in its symmetry.
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
The history of humanity is not the history of its wars, but the history of its households.
John Ruskin
English artists are usually entirely ruined by residence in Italy.
John Ruskin
All really great pictures exhibit the general habits of nature, manifested in some peculiar, rare, and beautiful way.
John Ruskin
