More quotes by John Ruskin
When love and skill work together, expect a masterpiece.
John Ruskin
Every great man is always being helped by everybody, for his gift is to get good out of all things and all persons.
John Ruskin
Levi's station in life was the receipt of custom and Peter's, the shore of Galilee and Paul's, the antechambers of the High- Priest, which station in life each had to leave, with brief notice.
John Ruskin
Nature is painting for us, day after day, pictures of infinite beauty.
John Ruskin
The higher a man stands, the more the word vulgar becomes unintelligible to him.
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
The principle of all successful effort is to try to do not what is absolutely the best, but what is easily within our power, and suited for our temperament and condition.
John Ruskin
The truths of nature are one eternal change, one infinite variety. There is no bush on the face of the globe exactly like another bush there are no two trees in the forest whose boughs bend into the same network, nor two leaves on the same tree which could not be told one from the other, nor two waves in the sea exactly alike.
John Ruskin
When men do not love their hearth, nor reverence their thresholds, it is a sign that they have dishonoured both ... Our God is a house-hold God, as well as a heavenly one He has an altar in every man's dwelling.
John Ruskin
It is his restraint that is honorable to a person, not their liberty.
John Ruskin
Imperfection is in some sort essential to all that we know in life.
John Ruskin
Every duty we omit obscures some truth we should have known.
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
Let us reform our schools, and we shall find little reform needed in our prisons.
John Ruskin
An artist should be well read in the best books, and thoroughly high bred, both in heart and bearing. In a word, he should be fit for the best society, and should keef out of it.
John Ruskin
A little thought and a little kindness are often worth more than a great deal of money.
John Ruskin
If you want knowledge, you must toil for it if food, you must toil for it and if pleasure, you must toil for it: toil is the law.
John Ruskin
All great art is the work of the whole living creature, body and soul, and chiefly of the soul.
John Ruskin
The essence of lying is in deception, not in words.
John Ruskin
He who has learned what is commonly considered the whole art of painting, that is, the art of representing any natural object faithfully, has as yet only learned the language by which his thoughts are to be expressed.
John Ruskin
